The Burger King Donut Burger is a creative and indulgent treat that features a burger made with a sweet donut instead of a traditional bun. Here’s a simplified recipe to recreate this unique burger at home, along with suggestions for French fries on the side.
Ingredients:
For the Donut Burger:
- 1 glazed donut (you can use any type of donut you prefer)
- 1 hamburger patty (beef, turkey, or plant-based)
- 1 slice of cheese (optional)
- 2-3 strips of cooked bacon (optional)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, or any other condiments you prefer
For French Fries:
- Frozen French fries (or you can make fresh fries from scratch)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: seasoning (garlic powder, paprika, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the French Fries:
- If using frozen fries: Preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package instructions. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet (for an oven) or in the air fryer basket and cook until crispy, following the recommended time.
- If making fresh fries: Peel and cut potatoes into fry shapes, soak in water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
2. Cook the Hamburger Patty:
- Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Season the hamburger patty with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Add the cheese slice during the last minute of cooking if you want melted cheese.
3. Assemble the Donut Burger:
- Slice the glazed donut in half horizontally. You can lightly toast the cut sides on a skillet or grill if you prefer.
- Place the cooked hamburger patty on the bottom half of the donut.
- Add bacon and any additional toppings you like (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.).
- Top with the other half of the donut to complete the burger.
4. Serve:
- Serve the donut burger immediately with a side of French fries.
Enjoy!
This donut burger is a sweet and savory combination that’s perfect for adventurous eaters. Enjoy your homemade version alongside crispy fries.
