Why they were made Fried dough has been made all around the
world. Dutch settlers who brought apple and cream pies, cookies and
cobbler to the New World also introduced doughnuts. Their doughnuts
were called olykoeks, or oily cakes sweet dough balls fried in pork
fat. Early doughnuts were often filled with apples, prunes or
raisins. The name doughnut may refer to the nuts put in the middle
of the dough ball to prevent an uncooked center or possibly to
dough knots another popular shape for the olykoeks. Today, doughnut
and donut are used interchangeably.
