VII. READ THE SELECTION BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
Doughnuts

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.
There are three stories about why doughnuts have holes in
the center. In 1847, Elizabeth Gregory was known for making a very
fine olykoek with a hint of nutmeg and a filling of hazelnuts or
walnuts. Her son, Hanson Crockett Gregory was a 16 year-old sailor
who invented the doughnut hole.
One story says that on June 22, 1847, Captain Gregory’s
ship hit a sudden storm. He impaled the doughnut as a spoke on the
steering wheel to keep his hands free. The spoke drove a hole
through the raw center of the doughnut. Captain Gregory liked the
doughnuts better that way, and the doughnut hole was born.
In the second story, he didn't like nuts, so he poked them
out and ordered the ship's cook to remove the centers from
doughnuts.
The third version comes from an interview with the Captain
Gregory in the Washington Post. Gregory didn't like the greasiness of
doughnuts twisted into various shapes, or the raw center of regular
doughnuts. He suddenly had the idea to punch a hole with the ship's
tin pepper box. When he got home, he taught this new doughnut trick
to his mother.
Making a hole increased the surface area exposed to the
hot oil and eliminated the uncooked center.
Here's part of the interview with 85 year-old Captain
Gregory:
"Now in them days we used to cut the doughnuts into
diamond shapes, and also into long strips, bent in half, and then
twisted. I don't think we called them doughnuts then--they was just
'fried cakes' and 'twisters.'
"Well, sir, they used to fry all right around the edges, but
when you had the edges done the insides was all raw dough. And
the twisters used to sop up all the grease just where they bent, and
they were tough on the digestion."
"Well, I say to myself, 'Why wouldn't a space inside solve
the difficulty?' I thought at first I'd take one of the strips and roll it
around, then I got an inspiration, a great inspiration. I took the cover
off the ship's tin pepper box, and--I cut into the middle of that
doughnut the first hole ever seen by mortal eyes!"
“Well, sir, them doughnuts was the finest I ever tasted. No
more indigestion--no more greasy sinkers--but just well-done, fried-
through doughnuts.”
