Difficulty: MEDIUM

Prep Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Serving Size: Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
1 cup warm water
Oil for frying
Honey or syrup for drizzling
Chopped nuts or cinnamon for topping

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, and warm water. Mix until smooth.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the loukoumades from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Drizzle honey or syrup over the loukoumades and sprinkle with chopped nuts or cinnamon before serving.
