Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add one teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs, then start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
4
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm (½ inch) thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Let the doughnuts rise for another 30 minutes to make them even lighter when frying.
7
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey, but do not boil. Use a brush to glaze the tops of the freshly fried doughnuts with honey.
10
Sprinkle powdered sugar and a little extra cinnamon over the doughnuts to make them even more delicious.
11
Let the honey set slightly, then serve the doughnuts fresh to fully enjoy the honey-cinnamon flavor.
