It seems like nearly every culture in history has just instinctively thought to fry dough in fat, and I think that’s wonderful

This man is the face of "if you love what you do you never work a day in your life"

There is a museum in Miles City MT with what they claim is the oldest surviving doughnut in the world. The story is that a mother made a bunch for her son to take with him as a soldier in the Civil War (1860s). One doughnut hardened and fell to the bottom of his pack, unnoticed until long after the war when it became a family heirloom and then was donated to this little museum. It's the star attraction I would say.

Donuts for dinner: Every five year-old's dream.

My grandfather was a child in the Austro-hungarian empire was selected by his school master to go on a hunt with the "King" (Frans Joseph?). He and other children beat the fields from sun up to sun down to chase the game to the king and his hunting party. His reward for the all day long field work was a chocolate doughnut.

I would actually love a pastry shop that bakes colonial era goods like this, eepecially those donuts/fritters! 🍩 More people should use ginger and allspice too.

When I grew up, every New Year's Eve an old dutch couple at my church made "olibollen", round donut balls with sultanas. The wife passed 10 years ago, and I still remember these so fondly.

"Peppernuts" is still a popular Christmas biscuit in parts of Germany, made with spices, not actually pepper. It is more like a walnut size gingerbread ball.

In Holland we call this oliebollen, oil balls, and we eat them at old years eve. It is a dough with yeast and raisins and currents
-
We still have a baked good at Christmas called "Pfeffernüsse", pepper nuts, in Germany.
-
i remember reading "Farmer Boy" a lot as a kid and they would constantly reference donuts as a staple part of the extravagant breakfasts that the mother would prepare for the family. as a kid that always sounded so luxurious, the way that i pictured the donuts lol

Making doughnuts on a cold, snowy morning! What could be better? Thank you for the pockets of calm your videos provide.

The German word is Ölkuchen = oil cakes. The small doughnuts go by the name of "Baked Mice" here in Vienna. They are commonly sold at Christmas markets now.

This recipe is called 'rain cakes' where I live. It is pretty common to eat when it is raining. Cold and rainy days are rather rare, so when they appear, most of the time we make some rain cakes and coffee for lunch. Mixing with cocoa or plain chocolate powder can easily make a delicious dish for lunch.

Making some of those tube biscuits as donuts later. Just use a bottle top to cut a hole and shallow fry them in a pan and top or fill them with chocolate syrup or whatever. Lifehacks
-
It's interesting to once again see an old recipe with such a large batch recommended. Cooking and eating back then was a far more communal experience than today
-
I can just imagine how the scent of those spices and sugary dough frying would have been a welcome change from the smokey, sooty smell of an 18th or 19th century kitchen. Now I have to make fritters. Thanks John!

I love this series, the working man. History should never be lost .

As a bker for 25 years, I made a lot of donuts and fritters early in my career. There are yeast-raised donuts, which make things like your glazed and filled donuts (Boston Creme, Strawberry, etc) and Cake Donuts, which are a batter (Apple Cider and Sour Cream donuts). We had a special hopper that would drop the batter as a ring shape into the oil. We made Apple Fritters as well, but used the yeast-raised dough mixed with apples and cinnamon, instead of the batter.

Best served with coffee ☕️
