Candiedflowerdonuts Recipes

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until frothy. Add a couple of drops of vodka to help the flowers dry quicker.
• Using fresh picked flowers, paint each flower individually with beaten egg white using the artist's paintbrush.
• When thoroughly coated, sprinkle with fine sugar and place on the wire rack to dry. Flowers are completely dry when stiff and brittle to the touch.
• They should be free of moisture. This could take 12 to 36 hours, depending on humidity. To hasten drying, you may place the candied flowers in an oven with a pilot light overnight, or in an oven set at 150 degrees to 200 degrees F with the door ajar for a few hours.
• Store the dried, candied flowers in airtight containers until ready to use. They will keep for as long as a year.

Steps:

• To prepare the edible flowers, apply sugar & egg white mixture gently on the edible flowers using a small brush.
• Sprinkle sugar over the flowers.
• Bake at 170F for 1 hour.

• Pipe the donut batter into donut molds.
• Bake 350F for 15mins.

Uncover; reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced to syrup, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead; refrigerate. To rewarm, add 1/4 cup water and stir over medium heat until warmed through.) Season vegetables to taste with salt and pepper.
