Happy #NationalDoughnutDay!
It’s an excuse to eat the sweetened dough fried or baked, mixed with various sweeteners and flavors, sometimes filled with jelly, custard or cream. National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army. The day honors women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I, and is celebrated on the first Friday in June.
