Instructions for Lukumades (Greek fritters with syrup)

To prepare the Lukumades (Greek fritters with syrup) recipe, please follow these instructions:

Came the flour in a bowl and make a recess. In this break up the yeast. ½ Cup lukewarm water is stirred together with the yeast and some of the flour in the recess to a mush. Put a cloth over the bowl and place it in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Then stir the salt, the rest of the water and ouzo or brandy in and the batter whipped with a træslev (happen), it begins to form blisters. Then rests it even 1 hour under the dressing until it is swollen to twice the size.

Syrup: combine the sugar, water and honey. Bring to the boil and let it boil gently for 5 minutes.

Heat the oil up in a frying pan.
Put 1 tbsp. Dough on the left Palm, turn it up for grabs and pressure approximately 2 ½ cam batter up by hand. Tag with a small spoon in the right hand batter and came in the heat of the oil. Dip the spoon in cold water from time to time.

If you thought this stuff sounds a bit of a hassle, you can just take small pieces of the dough with a wet spoon, shape them into small balls and put them in the oil, So you get just a little more irregular shape than when the first procedure described.

When the small balls are golden on all sides, they are taken up by the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel added. While they are still warm out the on a platter, pour over with the syrup and sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon.
