Perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a cozy after-dinner treat, Honey Balls can be adorned with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or a topping of crushed nuts for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Ready in just 25 minutes, this quick and irresistible snack combines the joy of frying with a touch of indulgence, making it a must-try for honey lovers everywhere.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly.
Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth and pliable, about 2-3 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll each into marble-sized balls.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of dough—it should bubble and rise to the surface within a few seconds.
Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the honey balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat until it becomes slightly thinner in consistency. Toss the fried balls in the honey until fully coated.
Arrange the honey balls on a serving plate and optionally garnish with powdered sugar or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
