The length of time it takes for the center of a pastry to cook depends on the distance from the heat-bearing surface. An uncooked center was always a problem with deep-fried pastries, so a hole was put in the center to allow the dough to cook more uniformly.
As for other types of doughnuts, it would be hard to make one stay on the bat in the on-deck circle if there was no hole for the bat to go through. Also, 'doughnut' is often used as a synomym for 'torus', and it would not be a torus if it had no hole in it. So, in order that 'doughnut' and 'torus' could be synomymous, it was necessary to put a hole in it. |

If you were serious about your son entering college soon. Make sure you impress on him that during the next four years or so HE IS A STUDENT. There is no one who is superior to him while he is a student. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Colin Powell, no one. Make sure he networks while HE IS A STUDENT. |
