Steps:
- 1. In a saucepan, bring the water, milk, 5 tablespoons oil, salt, and lemon zest to a boil. Add the flour all at once, lower the heat, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball. Cook, turning the dough frequently for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- 2. In a food processor, process dough 20 seconds. Add eggs and process 30 seconds.
- 3. Heat about 1 inch oil in a large skillet or electric fryer to 370 F.
- 4. Drop dough by teaspoons into hot oil. The dough should puff, forming fritters and becoming golden and hollow inside.
- 5. Using a slotted spoon remove fritters to paper towels to drain and cool. Dust with sugar.
- 6. Syrup (optional) In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Spoon the syrup over the fritters, then sprinkle them with cinnamon.

Sadew Keshawa
[email protected]These fritters were a nice treat, but they weren't anything special. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the texture was a bit too dense. I would probably not make them again.
Makayla Avis
[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my fritters turned out flat and greasy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was disappointed with the results.
Kismot Pasha
[email protected]These fritters were good, but not great. The dough was a bit too dense for my liking, and the filling was a bit bland. I think I would have enjoyed them more if the dough had been lighter and the filling had been more flavorful.
