Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Lilac Blossoms Ensure blossoms are fresh and pesticide-free.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Consider coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Milk Whole milk works best, but almond or oat milk can be used for dairy-free.
  • 1/4 cup Butter Use unsalted for more control over sweetness.
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour if desired.
  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast Ensure it’s fresh for perfect dough.
  • 2 large Eggs Flaxseed eggs are a suitable vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract can be used for a unique twist.
  • 2 cups Neutral Cooking Oil Canola oil works well for frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rub fresh lilac petals into granulated sugar, allowing flavors to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat milk until simmering, add lilac blossoms, steep for 10 minutes, then strain.
  3. Combine lilac sugar, infused milk, melted butter, eggs, flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl until shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 6 minutes, shape it into a ball, and let rise in greased bowl until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness, cut shapes with a donut cutter, and allow to rise on a baking sheet for 30-45 minutes.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F, fry donuts for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
  7. Roll warm donuts in lilac sugar to coat them completely for a sweet finish.
