Method
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Mix them together.
- Gradually add lukewarm water while stirring until you achieve a smooth, relatively thick batter, similar to loukoumades.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry, turning them occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Arrange the hot fritters on a serving plate, drizzle generously with honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sesame seeds.
💡 Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to get crispy fritters, but not so hot that they burn quickly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
