Bonuts Recipe

How to make it

---

• 1. Stir up the dough
• Start by stirring the sugar, milk, buttermilk and melted butter together until smooth. Don’t skip on the buttermilk here! It’ll give these treats a tender texture and distinctive taste.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, keeping in mind the dough will be sticky.
• 2. Fry
• Next, get your fry station set up. In a deep skillet, heat an inch of oil (canola oil works here, but there are lots of good oils for frying) to 375ºF. You could also use a countertop deep fryer.
• Portion out the dough into 1-1/2 teaspoon balls (a small cookie scoop will help!). Drop a few dollops of dough into the hot oil at a time and fry until golden—about 1 to 2 inches on each side.
• Once golden, remove the bonuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• 3. Add the finishing touches
• While warm, roll the bonuts in sugar, cinnamon sugar or confectioners’ sugar—the choice is yours!
• How to Serve Bonuts:
• Bonuts are delicious on their own dusted with a bit of cinnamon sugar or confectioners’ sugar, but here are a few other ideas for serving up these bite-sized treats:
• Cream cheese frosting: At Biscuit Love, bonuts are served on a bed of blueberry compote with a dollop of cream cheese frosting. This is perfection.
• Jams, jellies and compotes: Want to skip the frosting? Dip bonuts in your favorite jam or jelly.
• Nutella: Chocolate-hazelnut spread is always a good idea at brunch. Dunk bonuts into Nutella or microwave this gooey spread and drizzle over the top.
• Add extras to the dough: If you want to add flavor before frying, add a teaspoon of your favorite extract or some citrus zest. These easy additions will add lots of flavor.
