Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and salt, and mix to dissolve. Pour the yeast mixture into the milk mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Beat in the butter, eggs, and flour until the mixture forms a smooth, soft dough. Cover the bowl, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Stir the dough well, cover, and let rise 30 more minutes.
  • Mix honey and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and let the honey syrup cool.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil should be about 2 inches deep.
  • Place a large table or soup spoon in a glass of water near the batter. Scoop up about 2 tablespoons of dough per puff with the wet spoon, drop it into the wet palm of your hand, and roll it back into the spoon to create a round shape. Do not overhandle the puffy, soft dough. Drop the dough balls into the hot oil in batches, wetting the spoon each time you make a dough ball. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown on the bottom, and roll them over to cook the other side, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Gently set the loukoumades aside to drain on paper towels.
  • Place the loukoumades on a baking sheet, drizzle them with honey syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve warm.

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm 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 approximately three times its previous bulk, (1-2 hours).
  • Heat the oil for frying in a saucepan on the stove until very hot.
  • Dip a teaspoon into oil to coat and spoon out some dough into the hot oil.
  • Repeat until there are enough fritters to comfortably fill the surface area of the saucepan, without overcrowding.
  • Dip the spoon in oil, every time the dough starts to stick on it.
  • Fry loukoumades in very hot oil until golden brown, pushing them into the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish lined with kitchen paper for them to drain.
  • Keep making more fritters in this way.
  • When done, put them on a large platter and pour hot honey syrup over them and lightly dust with cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle them with chopped walnuts and sesame seeds.
  • Serve immediately.
  • To make honey syrup.
  • Heat honey and water in a small saucepan and skim off any froth that may form on top.
  • Boil for 5 minutes together and pour over fritters.

LOUKOUMADES

Loukoumades are served across Greece and Cyprus, with a wide range of garnishes. I've suggested honey and cinnamon because they're a simple, delicious, and authentic combination. But you could add a sprinkling of chopped pistachios or a dusting of confectioners' sugar or even substitute the syrup used in making Baklava (page 628) for the honey.

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse once or twice. Turn the machine on and add the liquid, a little at a time, through the feed tube, until the mixture forms a ball and is slightly sticky to the touch. If dry, add another tablespoon or two of water and process for another 10 seconds. (In the unlikely event that the mixture is too sticky, add flour, a tablespoon at a time.)
  • Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead by hand for a few seconds to form a smooth, round dough ball. Put the dough in a lightly oiled or buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rise until the dough doubles in size, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Put at least 2 inches (more is better) of oil in a large deep saucepan; the narrower the saucepan, the less oil you'll need, but the more oil you use, the more fritters you can cook at the same time. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (a pinch of the batter will sizzle immediately).
  • Punch the dough down in the bowl, then moisten or flour your hands and shape tablespoon-sized pieces of the batter into little balls. Keep a piece of plastic wrap draped over the shaped fritters. Fry in batches, without crowding, until nicely browned, turning as necessary; total cooking time will be less than 7 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or at room temperature, drizzled with the honey and sprinkled with a mixture of the cinnamon and the remaining tablespoon of sugar.

1 teaspoon instant active dry yeast, like SAF
2 tablespoons sugar
3 1/2 cups flour, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water or milk
Oil or butter for the bowl
Corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil for deep-frying
1/2 cup honey, more or less, gently warmed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste

LOUKOUMADES

A Greek doughnut-hole-like fried puff pastry. If you can't get thyme honey, other honey will do. Each time I've made these, I've come out with a different number, with the count varying quite a bit across time. So the amount given is only a very inexact estimate.

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine milk, flour and brandy.
  • Beat until batter is thick and bubbly.
  • Fill a large heavy pan with oil to a depth of at least 2". If possible it is better to use an electric deep fryer or electric fry pan because of the constant controlled temperature.
  • Heat the oil to 375-400*. Work in a well ventilated room.
  • Drop batter from teaspoon or tablespoon into hot oil.
  • Dip spoon in cup of cold water each time before dipping in batter so batter will not stick to spoon.
  • Fry 4-5 loukoumades at a time turning often until puffed and golden on all sides. The frying process usually takes 2-4 minutes.
  • Remove from oil and drain in colander or in bowl lined with paper towels.
  • Heat honey and 2 Tblsp. of water in a saucepan.
  • To serve, arrange hot Loukoumades on a platter and pour hot honey over each one. Sprinkle with cinnamon. If desired, sprinkle with chopped walnuts.Serve hot and immediately.
  • Left over cooked dry Loukoumades may be wrapped in plastic or aluminum foil and frozen. When ready to use, defrost completely, place uncovered on ungreased baking sheet and heat through in preheated moderate oven. Serve with honey, cinnamon and finely chopped walnuts as above.

  • To prepare this traditional loukoumades recipe, start by making the dough. In a bowl add the water, sugar and yeast. Stir with a whisk until the yeast dissolves completely and wait for 5 minutes. In a mixers bowl add the yeast mixture add the rest of the ingredients for the dough and whisk at high speed (for about 2 minutes) until the mixture becomes a smooth batter. (You could also use a hand whisk. Whisk until the mixture has no lumps).
  • Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for at least 1 hour to rise.
  • Into a medium sized frying pan pour enough vegetable oil to deep fry the loukoumades. Heat the oil on a medium heat until hot. Test if the oil is hot enough by dipping in some of the dough for the loukoumades. If it sizzles the oil is ready. A more accurate way is to use a kitchen thermometer and measure the oil to be at 160C / 320F.
  • Dip a tablespoon in some oil, shake it a bit to remove any excess. It is best to dip the spoon in oil and not water. Dip your hand in the dough and using your palm, squeeze out a small portion of dough between your thumb and index finger, like you are making a fist. Using the spoon, grab the dough ball off your hand and let it drop in the hot oil. Repeat this procedure until the surface off the pan is comfortably filled. You should dip the spoon in the oil & shake off every time, so that the batter doesn’t stick on it.
