It bothers me that so-called "donut hole" pastries are spherical; not the right shape to complement a donut. A true donut hole should be hourglass-shaped, wider at the top than in the middle.
The hourglass hole will also tickle you with paradox as you wonder how it was removed from the donut in
one piece.

And I want those outside stars between four donuts. |
|
| |
and make doughnuts (uk spelling) out of the removed doughnut holes. |
|

Jelly donut holes always bothered me...there are no stinking holes in a jelly donut!! |
|
| |
Just one big one and it's stuffed. |
|
| |
How about a figure eight donut - two holes for the fry of one. |

Donuts are made from a straight snake of dough rounded into a circle. There really isn't any donut to be taken out of the middle. One day a baker must have said to the other baker, "a lot of kids are asking what we do with the holes mabye we should sell them." "What shape are they?" the other asks. "They are round" The other baker thinks "OK, a sphere." and they are formed. If you wanted to make a corrected donut hole though, you might try carving them out when they are done cooking, with one of the knives I linked to. |

Dagwood, all the doughnuts I've seen being made have been made from taking a ball of dough and sticking a big spike through it... |
|

I stand udderly amazed at my lack of knowledge in the art of pastry making. In my mad quest to see how wrong I really was I found the link above, and yes, That is a handfull of donutholes :-< I am sorely ashamed. |
|

I guess there's more than one way to hole a doughnut... |
|
| |
Dagwood's description sounds more like bagels. |
|
| |
Just did a google on "doughnut spike" and "donut spike" |
|

I am A-mazed at how many "Buffy" fans seem to find do(ugh)nuts sexually arousing.. Amazed and more than a little worried... |
|

Wouldn't they be ring shaped? So
they can fit in a larger donut and
yet still have a hole? You can't eat
the hole of a donut but you can
eat the donut that supplies the
hole. |

I still have sharp, pleasant memories of stamping out donuts with my dad, the smell and taste of the fresh pastry and the “holes” turning themselves over in the oil when one side became golden brown. |
|
| |
*sigh* Can't wait till Halloween. |
|

I thought most ring donuts were made from very soft dough which is extruded into the hot fat - that's certainly how it works at those mini-hot donut stands. There never was a "hole" to be removed- the donut started out toral. |
|

Jam-filled doughnuts are so much better than the ring ones anyway. But I like the attention to detail that this idea presents. |
