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 okay, but I wouldn't make them again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover pita bread.

I'm not a huge fan of fried dough, but these were actually really good. The honey-cinnamon syrup made all the difference.

These were a little too oily for my taste, but the flavor was great.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but still very good. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

I've never had loukoumades before, but these were amazing! The flavor was incredible and the texture was so unique.

These were so easy to make and turned out perfect! I used a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, and they were still light and fluffy.

Absolutely delicious! The loukoumades were light and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The honey-cinnamon syrup was the perfect finishing touch.
