Honey Soaked Walnut Donuts
A Turkish street-fair classic: small yeasted dough rings fried to a deep golden crust, then drenched in warm lemon-honey syrup and finished with chopped walnuts and cinnamon while still hot enough to soak it all in.

Instructions
1
Warm the milk to lukewarm and whisk in the yeast and sugar; let stand 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, then work in the beaten egg, softened butter, and the yeast mixture to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6 minutes until smooth and elastic, then cover and let rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes until doubled.
4
Punch down the dough, divide into 2 equal pieces, and shape each into a small ring, pinching the ends together firmly.
5
Let the shaped rings rest, covered, for 20 minutes while the oil heats.
6
Pour the vegetable oil into a fry pan to a depth of 5cm and heat to 175°C using a thermometer.
7
Fry the donuts 2 at a time (or one at a time if the pan is small) for about 1.5 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
8
Lift onto a wire rack lined with paper towel to drain briefly.
9
Warm the honey with the lemon juice in a small pan just until runny, then spoon generously over both hot donuts so the syrup soaks in.
10
Scatter the chopped walnuts and a dusting of cinnamon over the soaked donuts and serve while still warm.
