Instructions
- Heat the milk and butter either in a pan or microwave until milk is warm and the butter melts. Cool until it's lukewarm.
- Put all the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour the milk in. Mix together thoroughly with a wooden spoon. You will have a thickish batter - bit like (American) pancake batter. Leave it to rise at room temperature for an hour (I used mine after 30m and it was fine).
- Pour the oil in a large pot and clip on a thermometer. Turn the heat on to medium and watch until the temperature reaches 170C /338F. You want it to stay at that level. Line a plate with some paper towels.
- Once the oil reaches the right temperature drop teaspoon sized dollops of the batter in the oil - a few at a time. Don't overcrowd them as they won't brown evenly.
- The loukoumades will puff up and rise to the top and flip over once the are nicely coloured on one side (or you may need to flip them using chop sticks). Fry for a couple of minutes until golden brown then drain on the kitchen paper.
- Serve drizzled with honey and chopped nuts with some lovely Greek yoghurt on the side. As with most fried foods, these taste best when freshly made.
