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 made in crude huts behind front lines without so much
as a
cutter.
Methods were eventually improved and millions of
doughnuts have been made from this recipe
