'was mother' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'clean eating doughnut with daughter?' is the wordplay.
'clean' becomes 'pure' (similar in meaning).
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'doughnut' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a doughnut).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter?' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'pure' placed around 'o' is 'poure'.
'poure'+'d'='POURED'
