Growing up these donuts were a new year’s tradition. I hadn’t had them for decades, so I decided to learn how to make them. They’re super easy to make and super delicious. It’s a fried donut with a wonderfully crispy outer shell and a soft pillowy interior. They’re traditionally topped with warm honey, cinnamon, and chopped walnut (I also toasted the walnuts).
Looks tasty! Are pecans (or maybe almonds) ever used instead of walnuts?
I’ve used pecans and almonds in the past. Chocolate or other sauces are sometimes used as an accompaniment instead of the honey and nuts. Honestly, it’s a free for all when it comes to toppings.
