Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and ground walnuts.
3
Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs, then begin to knead the dough.
4
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.
5
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
7
Let the doughnuts rise for an additional 30 minutes to make them even lighter during frying.
8
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to maintain a stable oil temperature.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10
For the glaze, warm the honey, dip the doughnuts in it, and then sprinkle with extra ground walnuts.
11
Serve fresh, allowing the flavors of honey and walnuts to harmonize perfectly.
