Loukoumades (dumplings)

  • 20 grs yeast
  • 500 grs flour
  • a short teaspoon of salt
  • Oil
  • Thyme honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Sesame seeds

Thin the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water. Mix the flour with the salt and put it in a deep ball. Add the yeast and an extra cup of warm water and mix well until you make a uniform thin paste. Cover and leave in the shade for ~1 1/2 hour until it rises and forms bubbles under the surface. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and pour your mix in, one large spoonfull at a time. The mix will form round dumplings. Remove them with a strainer/laidle when they darken a little. Pour honey over them, cinnamon and the sesame seeds.
