Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar.
Slowly add the warm water and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough doubles in size.
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the oil’s temperature.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small amounts of dough into the hot oil. Fry the puffs in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried puffs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey until it becomes runny and slightly thin.
Arrange the honey puffs on a serving platter. Drizzle the warm honey generously over the puffs.
Sprinkle the puffs with ground cinnamon and, if desired, a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Serve the Hanukkah Honey Puffs warm and enjoy!
