STARTER: Meat Doughnuts
|
|
|
These savory meat-filled doughnuts are somewhere between fluffy doughnuts, fried buns, and traditional Eastern European belyashi. Soft yeast dough surrounds a juicy meat filling, creating a crispy golden outside and tender center. They are perfect as a snack, lunch, or party food. The filling idea is adapted from a traditional meat doughnut recipe.

This homemade version uses freshly harvested culinary lavender blossoms to create a delicate floral syrup that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails, and desserts. The flavor is subtle and elegant—never overpowering—when steeped for the proper amount of time.
