Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 quart Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Add the honey and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir gently until a soft dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donuts and holes.
Carefully place a few donuts in the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Serve warm or at room temperature with an optional drizzle of extra honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
