@liliputian1 said in Why are Doughnuts round and not square?:
There must be physics involved in this one especially the hole in the middle of the doughnut.
Has anyone seen a square doughnut?
What are your thoughts?
Great question.
The round shape and the hole in the middle is the best way to make sure all parts of the doughnuts are fried evenly. Had there not been a hole, either the middle part would be under-fried or the edges/outer circle would be over fried, either would impede the taste of the doughnut.
