What is your name?
First things first, a doughnut is a sweet deep fried piece of ring shaped dough or batter. I am a pastry filled with custard or pudding so technically I am not a doughnut. That being said I have many names but I am most commonly called an éclair or Long John. I prefer to be called Temptation.
Éclair....is that French?
Yes. Actually the word éclair means, literally, “lightning”. Nobody knows how or why that word became associated with a pastry. Personally I believe that we are called lightning because we are so irresistible that we disappear at the speed of lightning.
How old are you?
I am less than 24 hours old but my history can be traced back to the nineteenth century.
Is there anything special you want everyone to know?
Yea, National Doughnut Day is June 1st. And, we would really appreciate your support. Buy (or make) an éclair or doughnut and celebrate with us the sheer genius of the first combination of the components that made us unique.
