The Burger King Donut Burger is a unique creation that combines a classic burger with a glazed donut as the bun, often accompanied by a sauce to enhance the flavors. Here’s a simple way to recreate a similar version at home, including a white sauce that you can use.
Ingredients:
For the burger:
- 1 beef patty (about 4-6 oz)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 glazed donut (cut in half)
- 1 slice of cheese (optional)
- Cooked bacon strips (optional)
- Lettuce, tomato, or other toppings (optional)
For the white sauce (buttermilk ranch-style):
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the White Sauce:
- In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and lemon juice.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
- You can stir in fresh herbs if you want to add more flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the burger.
2. Cook the Burger:
- Season the beef patty with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the beef patty to your desired doneness (about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium).
- If using cheese, add it on top of the patty in the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
3. Prepare the Donut Bun:
- While the burger is cooking, slice the glazed donut in half horizontally.
- If desired, you can toast the donuts lightly on a skillet or grill to enhance their texture.
4. Assemble the Burger:
- Place the cooked beef patty on the bottom half of the donut.
- Add bacon if using, then drizzle or spread the white sauce on top.
- Add any other toppings you like (lettuce, tomato, etc.).
