Number Of Ingredients 21

DOUGH FOR DIPLES
12 medium eggs, 12 yolks and 6 whites
1/3 c sugar
1 Tbsp ouzo (ouzo is an anise-flavored aperitif.) ~~~this is optional
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 c milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp vanilla
5 - 7 c all purpose flour
FOR FRYING THE DOUGH
vegetable oil, mazola or any other type -- enough to fill your frying pan almost 1/2 full (about 2-3 cups)
SYRUP
1 c honey
2 c sugar
1 c water
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice ---to prevent it to getting sugarery.
1/2 medium orange or lemon
GARNISH
cinnamon and sugar mixture
ground nuts, walnuts mostly used
combine this together to sprinkle over diples

Steps:

  • 1. First, start out by preparing your syrup. Add all ingredients and cook over medium to high heat for 10 minutes or so. You want this to have a syrup like thickness for rolling your Diples in.
  • 2. Next is your eggs. Mix together the 12 yolks and 6 egg whites. Finish adding the rest of your ingredients till you get to the flour. Add 4 cups of flour and mix well. Now, depending on feel you will continue to add flour until nice and firm. (You may use all 7 cups and you may not).
  • 3. ~~At this point, put your oil on the stove over a low heat so that it will get nice and hot. Knead dough on floured board until smooth. Form dough into balls. Cover for 1 hour. Roll dough paper thin and cut in 4X6 inch strips. [If working by yourself, after rolling out the individual dough into paper thin strips put it on a lightly floured saran wrap. and cover with a towel so they do not dry out.] Or you can use a pasta machine to make your strips.
  • 4. Fry in hot oil. With 2 forks place one piece of dough into the oil and immediately flip the dough once and begin to roll up quickly while still in the oil. [It should look bubbly and start to be getting crispy.] Drain on paper towels. Dip in hot syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon and ground nuts.
  • 5. Info about Ouzo: The classic Greek drink Ouzo is made from a precise combination of pressed grapes and herbs and berries including aniseed, licorice, mint, wintergreen, fennel and hazelnut. Ouzo is usually served as an aperitif, but is also used in some mixed drinks and cocktails. When mixing Ouzo with water it will turn whitish and opaque. The reason is that the anise oil dissolves and becomes invisible when mixed with a conventional alcohol content, but as soon as the alcohol content is reduced, the essential oils transform into white crystals, which you cannot see through.

These rolls are a great way to use up leftover honey. I always have a jar of honey in my pantry, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I'm not a big fan of honey, but I still enjoyed these rolls. The dough is light and fluffy, and the honey glaze is not too sweet.

I love that these rolls can be made ahead of time. I usually make a batch on the weekend and then I have them on hand for snacks or breakfast during the week.
