Light Krispy Kreme-style donut using blackberry honey instead of sugar for glaze is a unique twist on the classic recipe. Using almond milk will give the glaze a subtly nutty flavor and a creamy texture, which complements the blackberry honey beautifully. Enjoy your donuts with this unique and flavorful twist!
Here's a simple way to make it:
Ingredients for Donuts:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup milk, warmed (can be almond milk)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup blackberry honey
- 2-3 tbsp almond milk
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, sugar, and yeast.
- Add warm milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Add the remaining flour and salt, kneading until the dough is soft but not sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Form and Fry the Donuts:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or round cutter.
- Let the donuts rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, then transfer to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the blackberry honey and almond milk. Start with 2 tablespoons of almond milk and add more as needed to achieve your desired consistency. The glaze should be smooth and spreadable, but not too runny.
- Once the donuts are cool enough to handle but still warm, dip each into the glaze, covering both sides.
