I did a double take over this booth at the Indiana State Fair last month. Wait…what? Amish donuts?

Donuts made by 7 foot tall Amish people? Fried over an open wood fire? So many questions.

The mind does reel, doesn’t it.

Maybe it’s an American thing, but what is a bucket of donut holes? Isn’t that just a bucket of donuts? :)

Sooooo about 30 years ago, the Dunkin’ Donuts chain decided to roll up little balls of donut dough and fry them up and sell them as though they were the bits removed from the centers of regular donuts. They’re ingenious little things, really: single-bite donut treats, some of the joy without all of the calories.

So has anyone thought up making bagel holes? :)

I’m skittish about anything that would be touted as Amish AND giant. Amish and dainty? OK.

It’s a double-take combination, to be sure.

On the rare (or celebrated) occasions my mother made doughnuts, she always fried the holes, too. Apparently, this was commonly done when she grew up, possibly a New England thing. So I can assure you that Dunkin’ Donuts did not come up with the concept. They may have marketed the heck out of it, though.

And made a mint off it!
