Steps:
- Sift the flour with the baking powder into a bowl.
- Add sugar, oil (or butter or margarine), milk, and the egg, and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a saucepan or deep frying pan to just below the smoke point (medium to medium-high on most stoves).
- When the oil is hot, drop the batter by the small teaspoonful into the oil and fry until golden on all sides.
- Drain on paper toweling.
- Get enough dough on your spoon to equal the size of a unshelled almond.
- Keep a small bowl of cold water next to the workspace and dip finger before pushing batter into the oil (to keep batter from sticking).
- Place on serving platter and drizzle with honey.
- Dust with walnuts and cinnamon, and serve.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of honey, so I used a different syrup. They were still good, but I think I would have liked them better with honey.

[email protected]The loukoumathes turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less honey in the syrup. Otherwise, they were perfect.
