The
Garnish
Honey, cinnamon, finely chopped walnuts
Preparation
Dissolve the yeast in the tepid water. Put it along with the remaining
dough ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well until a smooth batter
is obtained. Cover and let the batter rise in a warm place until it is
three times its previous bulk, (1-2 hours). Place the frying oil in a
pot on the stove until very hot.
Moisten one of your hands and take a handful of the dough with an oily
spoon, and drop it into the hot oil. Dip the spoon in oil every time before
cutting the dough to avoid sticking. Fry loukoumades a few at a time in
very hot oil, pushing them into the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer
to a serving dish. Pour hot honey over them and lightly dust with cinnamon.
Then sprinkle them with chopped walnuts. Serve immediately. If the honey
is too thick, boil it adding a little water. Skim off the froth before
using.
