Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Butter
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Honey
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
- 30 grams Powdered sugar or crushed nuts (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly.
Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth and pliable, about 2-3 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll each into marble-sized balls.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of dough—it should bubble and rise to the surface within a few seconds.
Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the honey balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat until it becomes slightly thinner in consistency. Toss the fried balls in the honey until fully coated.
Arrange the honey balls on a serving plate and optionally garnish with powdered sugar or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
