Best Answer

When donuts are fried the middle remains doughy and uncooked after the rest is done. Instead of overdoing the donuts or eating a doughy middle people started cutting out the middle before they fried them. A riveting theory as to the origin of the bull's eye in the doughnut holds that a sea captain named Hanson Gregory, while manning his post one stormy night, found it impossible both to steer his vessel and to eat his fried cake. Out of sheer frustration, and probably out of hunger, he impaled his cake over one of the spokes of the ship's wheel, thereby creating a finger hold with which to grip the cake. Quite pleased with his ingenuity, Mr. Gregory ordered the galley's cook to fry the cakes in that manner henceforth.

Depends on the maker. Most are round, but there are imperfect donuts in an inperfect world.
