Loukoumades with honey and cinnamon
Ingredients
- yeast: 2 tsp
- milk: 1 teacup, lukewarm
- sugar: 2 tbsp
- egg: 1, whisked
- butter: 60 g, melted
- all-purpose flour: 2 teacups
- corn oil: for frying
- honey: 2/3 teacup
- walnuts: 60 g, roughly crushed
- cinnamon: ½ tsp
Directions
Combine the yeast, the milk, the sugar, the egg and the butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir well and slowly add the flour after sifting it. Whip the mixture with a balloon whisk until thoroughly smooth and blended. Set aside in a warm place for 1 ½ hour to rise until bubbles start to form on top of the batter.
Heat the corn oil in a small saucepan and drop a small spoonful of batter in to fry. When the loukoumades are golden brown, strain them on paper towels. Heat the honey in a small pan. Serve the loukoumades in a platter drizzled with honey and sprinkled with the walnuts and the cinnamon.
