Ingredients for Ancient Honey And Sesame Fritters Arxaies Tiganites Me Meli K

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey (1 tablespoon for batter, 2 tablespoons for drizzling)
  • About 1 cup vegetable or olive oil (for frying)
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds

How to Make Ancient Honey And Sesame Fritters Arxaies Tiganites Me Meli K

  1. Heat about 1 cup of oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup water, and 1 tablespoon honey until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick, like pancake batter.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the hot oil in the frying pan.
  4. Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the hot oil, forming a small fritter.
  5. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully using a spatula when the edges begin to set and the underside is golden.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until all the batter is used, making approximately 4 fritters in total.
  7. Serve the fritters immediately while hot. Drizzle generously with the remaining honey (approximately 2 tablespoons) and sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
