∙ 14y agoIn 1847, Elizabeth Gregory sent her son, Capt. Hanson Gregory on a voyage with her dough recipe, an olykoek, which is Dutch for oily cake, a dough ball cooked in pork fat. According to legend, Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship and eating the oily cake at the same time, so he stuck it on one of the spokes of his steering wheel. The shape of the oily cake changed once he informed his cook of its practicality. Elizabeth Gregory thought the new confection looked like a nut of some sort, and coined the term "doughnut" From then on, the oily cake became the doughnut.
