HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS LOUKOUMADES

Serve these Greek donuts — Loukoumades — with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some toasted sesame seeds. No wonder this is such a popular dessert!

Fried to golden perfection, they’re covered in a honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar for delightfully sweet treat.

GREEK LOUKOUMADES

Sometimes referred to as lokma, these are popular in Turkey, Egypt, and Greece. Some say these sweet Greek donuts were served at the first Greek Olympic games!

INGREDIENTS

Flour Active dry yeast Sugar Milk  Eggs Butter Honey

Start by combining the yeast and water. This is called “proofing” and allows you to be certain that your yeast is fresh. It also gives the yeast a little bit of a head start. It should begin to get bubbly in 5-10 minutes.

MAKING THESE GREEK DOUGHNUTS

As the loukoumades cook in the oil, they may roll over on their own. If not, you’ll need to give them a little assist.

Next Step

Once all of the loukoumades are golden brown, it’s time to dip and roll them in honey simple syrup.
