These Fried Honey Fritters are crispy golden bites made from a simple dough of milk, olive oil, and flour, fried to perfection and drizzled with warm honey. A delightful treat perfect for breakfast or dessert that combines the richness of fried dough with the natural sweetness of honey.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups flour

For Frying

  • 3–4 cups vegetable oil (or as needed for frying)

For Serving

  • Honey (as needed, warmed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Line a loaf pan with cling film and spray with non-stick spray. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, olive oil, and kosher salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching or boiling over. Once hot, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the dough forms a cohesive ball. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for several hours until firm.
  2. Preheat the oil: Fill a deep skillet or saucepan with about 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  3. Cut the dough: Remove the chilled dough from the loaf pan. Using a sharp knife (rinsing it between cuts if needed), cut the dough into small pieces such as cubes or diamond shapes.
  4. Fry the fritters: Carefully add four to five pieces of dough into the hot oil at a time. Use a slotted spoon to gently stir to prevent sticking to the pan, spoon, or other fritters. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp all over.
  5. Drain and repeat: Remove the fried fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat frying with the remaining dough pieces.
  6. Serve with honey: Gently warm honey so that it pours easily. Transfer the fritters to a serving plate and generously drizzle the warm honey over them, turning the fritters to coat evenly. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is steady at 350°F to cook the fritters evenly without absorbing excess oil.
  • Cut dough into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking time.
  • Use a slotted spoon for stirring and removing fritters to prevent oil splatter and maintain safety.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for easy cutting and handling during frying.
  • Warm the honey slightly to enhance its pourability and flavor coat on the fritters.
