Treat your ingredients with care...
- Glazed donut — To enhance the flavor, lightly toast the glazed donut halves before assembling the burger.
- Beef patty — For a juicier patty, mix in some finely chopped onions and Worcestershire sauce before shaping it.
- Bacon — For a smokier flavor, use thick-cut bacon and cook it on a grill or in the oven instead of a pan.
- Cheese — Opt for a melty cheese like cheddar or American for the perfect gooey texture.
- Lettuce, tomato, and onion — Add freshness and crunch to the burger by using fresh and crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and thinly sliced onions.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a sweeter burger, you can drizzle a small amount of maple syrup or honey on the glazed donut halves before assembling.
- Experiment with different types of donuts, such as chocolate-glazed or powdered sugar, to add variety to the burger.
- For a smoky twist, try adding a dash of liquid smoke to the beef patty mixture before cooking.
- Customize your Luther Burger by adding your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
- If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can use a lean turkey patty instead of beef and opt for a whole wheat bun instead of a glazed donut.
Serving advice
Serve the Luther Burger with a side of crispy french fries or onion rings for a complete indulgent meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, you can skewer a pickle slice and cherry tomato on a toothpick and place it on top of the Luther Burger. This adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
