Ingredients

  • 1.36 kg (48 oz / 6 cups ) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups undiluted evaporated milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 teaspoons dry yeast dissolved in ½ cup of warm water
  • Soy or corn oil for frying
  • Honey

Directions

1

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, salt, milk, eggs, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

2

Mix the yeast and water together.

3

Add the yeast mixture to the other ingredients and stir. The mixture should look like smooth cake batter .

4

Cover the bowl and leave it for 4 hours.

5

Place 5 cm of oil in a pot and heat it up.

6

With a tablespoon, drop the batter in and roll. Loukoumades should be sphere-shaped once fried and should look golden or brown from all sides.

7

After they are fried, remove them from the oil and pour honey over them. Use the cinnamon for extra flavour. You can also use sesame seeds for flavour.
