Happy National Doughnut Day!
If you ate a free doughnut today in honor of National Doughnut Day, you have a few women to thank. During World War I, volunteers with the Salvation Army baked fresh donuts and brought them to soldiers on the frontlines. National Doughnut Day was created to salute their generosity. Americans eat 10 billion doughnuts every year, but the first doughnuts were brought over by the Dutch. They called them Oliebollen and they were solid. The doughnut holes came later. Removing the middle made them firmer and better able to stand up to dunking.
