Directions
Loukoumathes: Honey Puffs,This recipe uses milk and a hefty helping of baking powder to create these small light fried balls of dough that are drizzled with honey and sprinkled with nuts. These are loved by all Greeks and are a traditional Greek Jewish sweet at Hanukkah.,Love this recipe – made them last year for hanukkah after reading that loukoumathes were probably one of the foods that were eaten at the earliest hanukkahs 🙂 Delicious and easy to make, everyone loved them. Also not too sweet..I don’t like donuts as I find them too sweet usually, these were pleasantly sweet but not overly so, unless you covered them completely in honey that is! I also like that this recipe doesn’t call for dry yeast which I don’t have in my pantry all the time.,I did something wrong! It didn’t stay round. They were wonderfully delicious!! No one had any issue eating them flat but… What’d I do wrong? LOL. I blame Colorado in a cold rain storm 😀 ZWT6 eta: um. I halved it but the whole egg and a bit too much milk. Gadzooks! I shall try again 😀
