It would be difficult to imagine a world without doughnuts and, thankfully, we don’t have to! Reportedly, an American staked a claim to having invented the version of the doughnut that we know today. While a sailor aboard a lime-trading ship in 1847, he grew tired of how the middle of the pastry never seemed to cook all the way through – so he cut it out. And with that, the ring-shaped doughnut was born. Fast forward to 2011, to King Street in Charleston when the ordinary glazed doughnut experienced another new beginning – at Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts.
Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts opened nearly 10 years ago and is the creation of a graduate of the Culinary Institute of Charleston.
