  • 1 teaspoon green cardamom pods

  • 1/4 cup rose water

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Bring water, sugar, rose hips, and cardamom pods to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then gently simmer, uncovered, until rose hips are softened, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rose water and lemon juice.
2

Instruction 2

Whisk together flour, kosher salt, and spices in a small bowl.
3

Instruction 3

Bring water to a boil with butter and sugar in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until butter has melted. Add flour mixture all at once and cook over medium heat, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from side of pan, about 1 minute, then cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute more. Cool 5 minutes.
4

Instruction 4

Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. (Dough will appear to separate at first but will become smooth.)
5

Instruction 5

Heat 2 inches oil to 350°F in a wide 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat.
6

Instruction 6

Divide dough into 12 portions. With wet hands, form each portion into a 2-inch ball (dough will be sticky). Slightly flatten one ball in a wet palm, then make a 1-inch hole in center with fingers and add to hot oil. Quickly repeat with 5 more balls and fry, turning occasionally, until golden-brown and just cooked through (cut one open to test), about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F and repeat with remaining dough.

Instruction 7

Reheat syrup (if necessary), then dip each doughnut in syrup, turning to coat, and transfer to a platter. Drizzle doughnuts with some of remaining syrup and serve warm.
