I guess they were good :^) ** This recipe calls for honey but I'm sure maple syrup or juice concentrate could be used instead with no ill effects. Honey Doughnuts (Lukumadhes) ---------------------------- from Greek Vegatarian Cookery by Jack Santa Maria 1 tbsp dried yeast 1 tsp sugar or honey 1 cup warm water 8 oz (225 g) ww flour ** if anyone knows how many cups this is, I would appreciate knowing - I don't have a scale :^( 1/2 tsp salt olive or vegetable oil for deep-frying honey powdered cinnamon Mix water, sugar, yeast, and 2 oz flour until smooth. Let rise until doubles in size. Add the salt and the rest of the flour, and enough water to make a thick batter. Cover and allow to rise again and begin to bubble. This takes 1 - 2 hours. Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan (I used a wok) and when the oil is hot drop in tsp size balls of batter. The dough will puff up and turn light brown. Remove with a strainer and put on a serving dish. Spoon honey or syrup (I heated the honey to make it runnier) over the doughnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Serve hot. ** Next time I plan to add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter along with the flour to give them more spice.
