Loukoumades, also known as Greek honey puffs, are delightful little doughnut-like pastries. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and soaked in sweet honey syrup. These treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
In a separate small bowl, mix the dry yeast with warm water until it dissolves.
Step 3
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 30-45 minutes.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Step 5
Using two spoons, scoop up small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown, turning them for even cooking.
Step 6
Remove the loukoumades and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 7
Drizzle honey over the loukoumades while they are still warm. Add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Step 8
Serve these delightful Loukoumades as a sweet treat. Enjoy!
