Loukoumades
Loukoumades are delicious Greek bite-sized donuts. They are typically deep-fried until golden and then drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon or chopped nuts. They are a popular sweet treat in Greece and other Mediterranean countries.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the warm water and mix until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the batter has doubled in size.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the Loukoumades until they are golden brown and puffed up, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the Loukoumades from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Drizzle the warm Loukoumades with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped nuts.
- Serve the Loukoumades warm and enjoy!
