Lovely sticky little fried dough balls. Recipes from 'From a Traditional Greek Kitchen' a vegetarian recipe book. Of course if you're vegan you won't smother them in honey (but maybe maple syrup), but they are good either way! Ingredients:
6 cups flour |
2 teaspoons dry active yeast |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup warm water |
olive oil or vegetable oil |
honey or maple syrup |
cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Sift flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Dissolve yeast with salt in warm water.
3. Pour yeast mixture into the well and combine.
4. Add 1 cup of water to make a thick batter, adding more as necessary.
5. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
6. Pour oil (to about a 4 inch depth) into a heavy bottomed pan and heat just to smoking point.
7. Drop the batter by tablespoons into the oil four at a time.
8. Turn the puffs until golden brown on all sides.
9. Remove and drain on kitchen paper towels and serve hot, drizzled with honey or maple syrup and sprinkled with cinnanmon.
