In 1938, The Salvation Army decided to honour those who served doughnuts to soldiers during the First World War.
National Doughnut Day then began on June 6th and continues today as your best bet for something free and scrumptious.
Contemporary spins on these confections include the doughnut hole, sugary spheres that a certain national coffee chain sells in paper boxes that fit nicely on a car seat.
Road trip season starts about now so why not cook up your own batch?
