Any number of people have inquired about the origin of the name of this pastry. The doughpart is easy enough, but why nut?
The term doughnutis first attested to 1809, in Washington Irving's Knickerbocker's History of New York, but Irving is not referring to the toroidal confection that we know today. Instead, what he describes are small balls of fried dough, what we would today call doughnut holes. The nutcomes from the size and shape of these balls, literally nuts made out of dough.
