My friend from Georgia shared this recipe with me, and it’s become a staple in our kitchen!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup honey

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long.

Twist each rope into a spiral and pinch the ends to secure.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the dough twists in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Remove the twists from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Warm the honey slightly in a small saucepan or microwave.

Drizzle the warm honey over the fried dough twists.

Serve warm and enjoy!
