How To Make tunisian honey rings

  • 1
    DOUGH: To make ring dough, beat eggs, oil, orange juice, 1 teaspoon orange peel and sugar in a medium bowl until frothy.
  • 2
    Sift flour with baking powder; add a spoonful at a time to egg mixture, beating well. Cover and let stand 45 minutes.
  • 3
    SYRUP: To make syrup, heat water, lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved.
  • 4
    Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add creamed honey or honey spread and remaining orange peel; simmer syrup gently another 5 minutes and keep warm while cooking rings.
  • 5
    COOKING: Heat oil in a deep-frying pan to 360°F (180°C). Divide dough into 12 pieces.
  • 6
    Using floured hands, make each piece into a circle 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. Make a hole in the center of each circle. Enlarge holes using a wooden spoon until they are about 1-1/2 inches (3.5 cm) across. Add 4 rings at a time to hot oil.

    Fry 5 minutes or until golden, turning once during cooking with a slotted spoon. Lift out cooked rings with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Using a fork, pick up warm rings and hold in syrup a few minutes to let syrup soak in.
