About

Nowadays we Americans no longer eat doughnuts as regularly as our ancestors did. But once in a while indulge. Doughnut holes are a great way to enjoy doughnuts on a small scale. If you’re a doughnut aficionado try to find a copy of Sally Levitt Steinberg’s Donut Book (Knopf, 1987). You can’t miss it—it has a hole in the cover! Seriously, it is filled with amusing doughnut lore and even a few recipes.
