    “There are several purported origins for donut holes and the “ring” shaped donut. The concept of forming donuts with a hole in the center is commonly attributed to Captain Hanson Gregory,[1][2] who claimed to have invented the first ring donut after cutting the center of his mother’s donut out in 1847.[3]”
