Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast and 2 tbsp sugar in 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F). Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp salt until a sticky batter forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled and bubbly.
  3. Step 3: Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F.
  4. Step 4: Using two spoons, scoop about 1 tbsp of batter and carefully drop into hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Step 5: Remove loukoumades with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Step 6: Warm 1 cup honey gently in a saucepan until fluid, then dip or drizzle loukoumades generously with honey.
  7. Step 7: Combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 tbsp powdered sugar and sprinkle over the honey-coated loukoumades. Serve immediately for best texture.
