Zubereitung von Candied Flower Donuts
- **Prepare Edible Flowers:** Gently brush a mixture of 1 large egg white lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar onto edible flowers (pansies, violas, etc.) using a small pastry brush. Sprinkle an additional 1 tablespoon of sugar over the flowers. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 170°F (77°C) for 60 minutes, or until completely dry and crisp.
- **Make Donut Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and frothy.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Zest the peel of 1 lemon and add it to the batter along with 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds. Mix with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter and gently fold it into the batter until well combined.
- Fill donut molds (approximately 2-inch diameter) about ¾ full with the batter using a piping bag or a spoon.
- Bake donuts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Make Lemon Icing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth and of desired consistency. Add more lemon juice for thinner icing, or powdered sugar for thicker icing.
- Once the donuts have completely cooled, dip each donut face down into the icing, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Immediately arrange the candied edible flowers on top of the icing while the icing is still wet. Get creative with your arrangements!
- Let the icing set completely before serving and enjoy your beautiful candied flower donuts!
