Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 3 c. flour plus
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 3 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil for frying
- 1 c. orange blossom honey
- 1/4 c. orange flower water
- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Directions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring 3 1/2 c. water to a boil and add in the sugar. Cook for 1 minute and, whisking, add in the flour in a steady, slow stream. When the mix becomes too thick for the whisk, change to a wooden spoon and continue to cook over low heat for 15 min. Pour the mix out onto a marble counter and allow to cold.
- Knead the dough by hand for 8 min. Roll it out into a rope (a dowel), about 1/3-inch thickness. Cut the dowel into lengths of about 6 inches, and form doughnut-shaped rings which should be equal in diameter to a tennis ball. Fry them in the oil till hard and golden brown, about 2 to 3 min, then remove from the oil with a slotted spoon or possibly spatula. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- While the doughnuts cold, in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the honey and the orange flower water and heat over medium heat to achieve the viscosity of a thin syrup. Dip each doughnut in the honey mix, shake off the excess syrup and sprinkle with the powdered sugar.
