Loukoumades image

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.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't drain them properly. I'll try again next time.

I've never had loukoumades before, but I'm definitely a fan now. They are so light and fluffy, and the honey syrup is the perfect complement.

These were a fun and easy recipe to make with my kids. They loved helping me shape the dough and fry the loukoumades.

I'm not a big fan of fried dough, but I have to admit that these loukoumades were pretty good. The honey syrup really made them.

Loukoumades are my new favorite dessert! They are so easy to make and they taste even better than they look.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey syrup next time.

I've tried other loukoumades recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the end result was amazing.
