Tips:

  • To make the candied flowers, use edible flowers such as roses, lavender, pansies, or violets. Make sure to pick the flowers from a pesticide-free source.
  • When making the donut dough, be sure to let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the donuts are light and fluffy.
  • If you don't have a donut cutter, you can use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the donuts.
  • When frying the donuts, be sure to maintain a consistent oil temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the donuts cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • To make the glaze, simply whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. You can adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more or less milk.
  • Once the donuts are fried and glazed, allow them to cool completely before decorating them with the candied flowers.

Conclusion:

Candied flower donuts are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flowers and flavors. Whether you are making them for a party or just for a special treat, these donuts are sure to be a hit.
