Greek Donuts With Honey Recipes

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: In a mixing bowl, add the yeast to 1 cup warm water, mix with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the flour, milk, sugar, olive oil, zest and salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth, 2 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest the dough in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Preheat the deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Dip a tablespoon measure in water, and then scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough. Wet your hands and roll the dough into balls, about 16 total. Place the doughnuts, a few at a time, in the fryer and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• For the honey: Place the honey, walnuts and 1/4 cup water in a pot set over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Coat the doughnuts with the walnut honey to serve.

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water with the sugar, about 10 minutes.
• Beat the eggs and add them to the yeast mixture, gradually adding the flour and salt, beating well.
• Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
• Heat some canola or vegetable oil to about 375F in a skillet or deep fryer, and drop the risen dough by the tablespoon-full into the oil. Turn it often to brown evenly.
• Dip each donut in the warmed honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.
