Are donut holes made separately?
I’m sure you’ve heard the myth that donut holes come from the center of a regular donut. While I’m not sure that I’ve given this a whole lot of thought — it is a myth.
Donut holes are not the remnant of a donut. Before technology and fancy machinery, that was most likely the case. Haha. In today’s society, machines make donuts with holes in them, and donut holes are made separately.
