Time 2h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
2 cups water (80 degrees F)
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups water
8 ounces sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cinnamon stick
1/4 lemon, juiced
1-ounce honey
8 ounces sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine all the dough ingredients in large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Transfer the dough to another large oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let the rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • For the honey sauce: In medium pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat and add the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Simmer the mixture for 45 minutes, then add the honey and cook for 5 more minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
  • For the topping: Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Heat a few inches of oil in a deep-fryer over high heat.
  • Use a tablespoon to form 1/2-inch diameter balls of dough.
  • Add the dough balls to the deep-fryer and fry until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Transfer the fried dough balls to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey sauce and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

These honey balls are a great way to use up leftover dough. I always have some extra dough in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm not a fan of honey, but these honey balls were still really good. The dough is light and fluffy, and the syrup is just the right amount of sweetness.

These honey balls were a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll use less honey in the syrup.

I'm allergic to honey. Do you think I could substitute agave nectar instead?

I've made these honey balls several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're light and fluffy on the inside with a crispy outer shell. The honey syrup is the perfect finishing touch.
