History: Undaunted by shot and shell, Salvation Army
Lassies began serving doughnuts from this recipe to the
"doughboy's" in France in 1917-1918. The first ones were

in crude huts behind front lines without so much as a

Methods were eventually improved and millions of doughnuts
have
been made from this recipe
