Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cups Orange juice
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Eggs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate it into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the orange zest to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, and egg until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead for about 1 minute until it comes together.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and use a doughnut cutter (or two round cutters) to cut out your doughnut shapes. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place 2-3 doughnuts into the hot oil at a time, frying for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried doughnuts onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
While the doughnuts cool slightly, make the honey yo yo drizzle by whisking together powdered sugar, honey, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the honey yo yo mixture over the doughnuts or dip them into the glaze for full coverage.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
