My friend from Georgia shared this recipe with me, and it's become a staple in our kitchen!

Honey glazed dough twists are a delightful treat that bring back fond memories of my childhood visits to the local fair. The sweet aroma of fried dough and honey would fill the air, creating an irresistible allure. These dough twists are perfect for those moments when you want to indulge in a simple yet satisfying dessert. They're easy to make and can be a fun weekend project for the whole family. Plus, the combination of crispy exterior and soft interior, all coated in a luscious honey glaze, is simply divine.

These honey glazed dough twists are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a variety of sides. For a cozy afternoon snack, serve them with a warm cup of tea or coffee. If you're looking to make them part of a larger dessert spread, consider pairing them with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a lovely addition to a brunch table, alongside fresh fruit and yogurt.

Servings: 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup honey

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long.

Twist each rope into a spiral and pinch the ends to secure.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the dough twists in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Remove the twists from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Warm the honey slightly in a small saucepan or microwave.

Drizzle the warm honey over the fried dough twists.

Serve warm and enjoy!

For a spiced twist, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. You can also experiment with different glazes, such as a maple or chocolate glaze, for a unique flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt over the honey glaze for a sweet and salty combination. To make the dough twists more festive, consider adding a dash of food coloring to the dough or glaze.
