A Greek doughnut-hole-like fried puff pastry. If you can't get thyme honey, other honey will do. Each time I've made these, I've come out with a different number, with the count varying quite a bit across time. So the amount given is only a very inexact estimate. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 package dry yeast |
1 cup lukewarm water |
oil |
1/2 cup thyme honey |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 3/4 cups water |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour and salt together into a bowl.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water and stir to dissolve.
3. Add yeast mixture to flour and beat or knead 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
5. Heat oil for deep fat frying.
6. Pinch off small pieces of dough and fry in hot oil about 3 min until golden brown.
7. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
8. In a saucepan, combine the honey thru lemon juice and bring to a boil.
9. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is syrupy.
10. Pour over hot puffs and sprinkle with cinnamon.
