Freshly prepared for us by Mrs. Mairy, near the rock church in the sunset! She makes the very best!!! These dough balls with honey and cinnamon taste simply delicious! Ouzo and/or Greek coffee go very well with it!

The ingredients are for 6-8 servings

Preparation:

250g flour
20g yeast
1/8l warm water

Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the middle and crumble the yeast into it. Pour almost 1/8 l of water into the well and mix the yeast with a little flour to form a pre-dough.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and keep it warm and let the dough rise for at least 1/2 hour.

1 pinch of salt, 1/8 l warm water

Add the salt to the flour, add another 1/8 liter of warm water and mix everything into a smooth dough. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise until the quantity has doubled.

Extra virgin olive oil

Heat plenty of oil in a deep fryer or deep pan until a wooden spatula placed in the hot oil produces bubbles.

Prepare a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper, a slotted spoon, the pot with the honey-lemon syrup and a plate for the finished pastry.

Grease your hands and a teaspoon with a little oil. Take some dough in your left hand and squeeze out a hazelnut-sized ball of dough between your thumb and forefinger, remove it with the teaspoon and quickly drop it into the hot fat. Repeat this until one layer of balls is floating in the hot fat. Fry briefly until golden brown and fish out with a slotted spoon.

Briefly degrease the balls on the kitchen paper, then place them on a plate.

200g liquid blossom honey, cinnamon

Drizzle with liquid blossom honey and dust with cinnamon, then serve warm with ouzo or Greek coffee. Don’t forget to read the coffee grounds!

ΚΑΛΗ ΟΡΕΞΗ!!!
