How to Make Greek Loukamades

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the activated yeast mixture and eggs to the milk mixture. Whisk well to combine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, mixing continuously until a smooth, slightly sticky batter forms.
  6. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve a thick, spoonable consistency.
  7. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  8. Pour enough vegetable oil into a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 3-4 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 360°F (182°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  9. While the oil is heating, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over very low heat.
  10. Gently stir the risen batter.
  11. Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the loukamades are puffed and golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
  12. Remove the loukamades with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  13. Arrange a layer of loukamades on a serving platter. Drizzle with warm honey, dust with cinnamon, and top with another layer of loukamades.
  14. Repeat layering and drizzling until all loukamades are used.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, delicious Greek Loukamades!
