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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll each into marble-sized balls.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the honey balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Arrange the honey balls on a serving plate and optionally garnish with powdered sugar or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
