Black Locust Recipe - Black Locust Flower Doughnuts

This is a pretty basic deep fried doughnut recipe that we can use for any flower. I do not add any spices, since the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is delicately scented, and we really want to taste it. These were even good the next morning!
