Loukoumades

Loukoumades

Loukoumades are delicious little Greek donuts, sometimes called honey puffs, as they are light, airy, and drizzled with honey. You can also top them with crushed pistachios, but for ours, we used walnuts.

Ingredients

Yield: ~35 donuts

Loukoumades

  • 2 tsp active dried yeast
  • 4 oz. warm water + 6 oz. warm water set aside
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Neutral-flavored oil for frying
  • Honey and crushed nuts for topping

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the active dried yeast with 4 oz. of warm water. Mix and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. After the yeast has bloomed, make a well in the center of the flour, pour in the yeast water plus 6 additional oz. of warm water. Use a wooden spoon to mix the batter together until sticky, runny, and well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm location, proofing for at least one hour or until the dough has doubled in size. It should be a bit bubbly and light once fully proofed.
  4. Set aside some oil in a cup and place in the fridge to cool.
  5. When you’re ready to fry the donuts, fill a large pot with about 2-3 inches depth of oil. Bring the oil to 345ºF and then you’re ready to fry, just be sure to maintain the temperature while frying.
  6. Use a small dessert spoon and dip it in the cold oil to then scoop up a small amount of batter. You may use another spoon dipped in the cold oil to help shape the batter into a more even sphere into the oil. Repeat until the pot is full but not so much that the donuts don’t have a little room to move around.
  7. Fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes, turning them so they are an even golden color all the way around. Use a metal slotted spoon or tongs to remove the donuts. Place the cooked donuts on a sheet with paper towels to absorb extra oil. Continue step 6 and 7 until all the batter is used.
  8. While the donuts are still warm, drizzle lightly with honey and the crushed nuts. Serve warm, best enjoyed fresh.
