Loukoumathes

Recipe Ingredients

1		Active dry yeast
1 cup	237ml	Milk - lukewarm
1 tablespoon	15ml	Caster sugar
1		Egg - beaten
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Butter - melted
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Plain flour
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
		Honey - warm
		Ground cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

Dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm milk. Add remaining milk, sugar, egg and lukewarm melted butter.

Sift flour and salt into a warm bowl and gradually stir in mixed liquids. Beat until smooth and continue beating for 1 minute. Cover with folded cloth and leave in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours until batter doubles in bulk with bubbles on the surface.

Stir well then drop teaspoonfuls into deep, hot oil (190C or 375F) - do 4 to 5 at a time. Turn puffs to brown evenly and remove with a slotted spoon (each puff takes about a minute to cook.)

Drain on absorbent paper and pile on to a plate. Drizzle each layer with warm honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve hot.
