Marjoram Honey Donuts
February 11, 2020
Make small balls of dough and let them rise about a half hour before frying them.
When the come out of the fryer, toss them in the warm glaze.
Pile them up and top with peanuts and more marjoram.
I loved these donuts. Marjoram has such a great floral flavor that goes perfectly with honey. The glaze cooked enough that it hardened into almost a shell on the donuts and helped the extra marjoram and peanuts stick to the dough balls.
Marjoram Honey Donuts
- 1 cup leftover pizza dough
- Oil for Frying
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
- 1/4 cup Chopped Peanuts
Instructions
- Form small balls with the pizza dough, about 1 inch round. Allow to sit for about a half hour to rise. Bring oil for 350 for frying.
- Mix the honey, butter, sugar, and half the marjoram in a small pot. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
- Fry the dough for about 3-5 minutes to cook through. Remove from oil to a drying rack.
- Allow the donuts to cool about 1 minute and then add them to the pot with the warm glaze. Toss to coat.
- Dump the donuts out onto a platter and sprinkle with the remaining marjoram and the peanuts.
