Instructions

1. To prepare the sugar syrup in a saucepan, combine 500 ml of water, sugar, and the juice of half a lemon. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the syrup thickens. Then remove and let cool.
2. Combine 250 ml water, butter, and salt in a separate saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and smooth. Then add the sifted flour and, stirring constantly with a spatula, cook the dough. When it begins to easily come off the walls, remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
3. Add eggs to the cooled dough one by one, stirring the mass thoroughly each time. The result should be a delicate dough, similar in consistency to plasticine. Divide it into small pieces, about the size of a quail’s egg. Roll each into a ball and make a small indentation in the center with your finger.
4. Heat the sunflower oil in a deep frying pan and place the blanks in it. Fry the donuts on all sides until they are nicely golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the sugar syrup. Stir gently so that each donut is completely covered. Chop the nuts with a knife or blender and place them in the prepared grooves.
5. Donuts in syrup goes well with morning coffee or a great dessert for a family dinner.
