What is the meaning of biscuit and doughnut cutter?

When you make biscuits (the kind in the US that are sort of like light weight scones or shortbread, not the UK "cookies"), you pat or roll out the dough into a sheet and then cut the round biscuits from the dough. When you cut them, because the dough is tender, you need a nice clean and straight edge that cuts sharply or the sides will pinch together and the biscuits then will not rise properly during baking. Some people say you can cut the biscuits with the rim of a drinking glass, but that pushes the edges together at the bottom, "sealing" them, and then they can end up like hockey pucks instead of biscuits.

The tool for the job of cutting biscuits properly is called a biscuit cutter. They usually have a handle on top of a round aluminum form with straight sides that will easily cut through the dough without pinching. Some of them also have a center smaller round piece that is removable. You put it in place when you want to cut out doughnuts and the center circle cuts out the doughnut holes all in one motion.

Who put a hole in a ring donut?

Leon Kossover was the inventor of the donut hole. While working in a bakery in the 1950's, he was making donuts one day. When asked to take all of the holes that were punched out of the donut's roll them out to make more donuts, he had the idea to leave them the way they were, cook them and put toppings on them. His boss liked this idea. He packaged them in groups of 12 and sold them in the bakery.

If a donut shaped house has two doors to the outside and three doors to the inner courtyard then it's possible to end up back at your starting place by walking through all five doors of the house?

No, There are two ways to solve this problem the shorter and the longer one; The short uses the rule of even and odd from Discrete Math. Add the numbers of exits and enterings and if the total sum is even you gona end up on the same side that you started otherwise if it's odd then you end up on the other side!! Proven Mathematically!!! You can use this rule when you work with lines and dots… the longer explanation is to waste your time and go over it.....which of course can lead you to mistakes sometimes..... Start outside Go through door 1 into the house, go through door 2 into the courtyard. Leave the courtyard by door 3. You are now in the house and can either ..... ... go through the door 4 into the courtyard, but if you do there is no unused door to exit it by ... go through the door 4 to the outside, but if you do you have no unused door to re-enter the house to go through the last door into the courtyard. Start in the courtyard Go through door 1 into the house, leave the house by door 2 to the outside, Re-enter the house by door 3, leave by door 4 into the courtyard and... you are back in the courtyard and haven't used door 5 If you leave the house by door 2 into the courtyard, you must use door 3 to get back into the house and this leaves you with no unused door to re-enter the courtyard. Start in the house Go into the courtyard by door 1 and return by door 2. If you go outside and re-enter you can only use door 5 once and this will leave you in the courtyard.

What does the term donut hole mean?

The Republican congress (when President Bush was in power) passed a measure to cover prescriptions under Medicare, up to a certain amount per person/year. After this amount was reached, the person had to pay out of his own pocket until a second amount was reached (then Medicare paid for meds again). The gap between the two amounts (what was paid for personally) was called the doughnut hole.

As part of this agreement, Medicare was forbidden to negotiate with drug providers on amounts paid for medicine!

Who invented donuts?

This story is, well, to be kind, implausible. Think about a cake impaled on a ship's wheel in a storm. Wikipedia has a better description of the origins of 'the doughnut.'

A Dutchman named Hanson Gregory. His mother, Elizabeth, was known to make a good olykoek, or "oily cake." She made some for him to take on one of his voyages, and she also sent along a recipe, so his cook could make some more. These cakes didn't have holes in them, however. One story says that the sea captain invented the donut by impaling one of the cakes on the ship's steering wheel, to keep his hands free in a sudden storm, on June 22, 1847. The spoke drove a hole through the wheel, naturally. Gregory discovered that he liked the cake better with a hole in the middle and ordered his cook to make them that way for the rest of the voyage.
No one knows really who made it but it would be in some food books
