Etymology

The word 'doughnut' dates back to the early 19th century, originating in America. It is derived from the Dutch word 'doughtnut,' meaning 'fried dough.' The first documented reference to the dessert was in 1809, but the concept of fried dough foods has existed across various cultures for centuries. The ring shape of the doughnut was popularized by a specific method of preparation, where the center is removed, allowing for even cooking. Over time, the doughnut evolved with various fillings, textures, and toppings, becoming a staple in American cuisine, particularly with the rise of coffee shops in the 20th century. Today, doughnuts are celebrated globally and have a significant presence in pop culture, making them a beloved treat.
