My dearest girl ,you made me remember when I use to make them when my kids were little......now they are older than you ..,.,.straight after an afternoon on the beach ,with honey and almonds ..bless you for bringing these memories back..,...love from beautiful Greece and keep up the wonderful work you are doing!!!!
This is Very similar to the New Orleans beignet. In Nigeria as well, there's a snack like this, only difference is that sugar is included and it's called Puff Puff. Great Job!
Wow it's like our Arabian "Luqaimat" and there is a secret ingredient in each home recipe My mother add one tbsp of yogurt and the result is delicious 😋 Thank you for all your amazing recipes 👏🏼😋
i grew up in greece and my mum always made this every day in the summer after we came home from the beach..ah memories. thanks for the recipe emma can't wait to try them :)
I see everyone commenting on what their country calls these donuts, and I'm from South Africa and I think we just call them donuts... which is kinda sad.
I’m Turkish and in my country those are called “Lokma”. Usually there are trucks that sells those. Normally we wouldn’t add anyting other than it’s syrup but in late years, filling them with cream and topping with chocolate, Oreo, etc. became really popular. You’d see too many Lokma shops in Turkey.
Actually, I thought they were the "donut holes" you can also sometimes get at shopping malls; well, used to... Donuts usually have the holes in the centre.
When you said loukouma and greek my heart melted because we eat this at every cypriot festival from the biggest one kataklismos to the small festivals to each region when they are celebrating their saints holy day. Loukoumades are amazing treats here we just fry them and dip them in syrup and they are amazing. Thank you for making them
Just tried this recipe for the first time. The donuts turned out perfectly! Light and tasty. I tossed them in honey and cinnamon. Super-easy to make. I didn’t have a piping bag and used a Ziplock instead with no problems. Waiting two hours for the dough to rise was the hardest part - otherwise, putting the mixture took a minute. Excellent recipe.
I just made these today! This is the first time I make donuts and they turned out amazing, I am so happy rn, thank you seriously for the recipe! Much love!🩶
I've been making your other recipe almost weekly and it's the best thing I've ever had. I don't have krispy kreme where I love and other brands are such a let down so I love making them at home. Thankyou so much for sharing these 💕 will surely make em for my family
@@emmasgoodies I was thinking of adding cocoa powder to them next time, I always tweak the sugar but I'd like to try choclatey ones too 💕 the kids love em
it's called "Zalabya" in Egypt not zlaba.. and we eat it either with sugar syrup or with powdered sugar and in some places as a modern thing we eat it with white and dark chocolate or with caramel.. but the syrupy one is the traditional one
I've tried them and they absolutely taste amazing Lol I'm not even kidding they tasted like donuts I'm impressed only 3 ingredients ,I made them bigger in size If they are over cooked leave them till the next day I would prefer glaze rather than maple. Thanks❤
Emma, you always come up with the MOST AMAZING recipes. I love easy, and quick. Keep these great recipes coming our way, we appreciate you time and talent immensley
Natalie M Vegetables don't come in a container in which 25 percent of the product is sugar. Ketchup contains sugar. Unless you opt to use a sugar-free one.
@@skinni_the_P00hBear ya every walmart I've seen has had some only problem is it's always sweeten with stevia and stuff making the ketchup taste like candy😣😣
Just made these, waaa-aaaw.. Soo good, fried and dusted some powdered sugar ❤❤❤... Must try you guys... Super easy and pillowy soft... I halved the recipe, it made 25-30 balls... Thank you Emmmmaaa ❤🔥
Most syrup desserts in Greece come from Turkey. We have a lot of common meals due to the past. Anyway, I'm greek and this recipe made me remember my whole childhood! Loukoumades are very popular in festivals and in Greek islands in the summer! (A few months till I eat them again). ♥️
Loukoumades!!!! They are simply delicious. They are found in Greece, Turkey, Persia, and Egypt. The oldest record of them originated in Greece, dating all the way back to 776 B.C from the first Olympic Game. They gave these delicious golden balls covered in honey to all the winners as "Honey Tokens".
There's even a savoury version of this in South India. We add a bit of rice flour and use curd instead of milk and add stuff like Curry leaves, ginger, slices of mild green chilly to the batter.
I made these donuts and instead of piping i rolled them out and they were so fluffy and too easy to be so good. but this is the best donut recipe everrrrr
I guess this is the European way of "kpoff kpoff" or as well called "galette" Your variation of course expands the horizon!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Will try it out tomorrow morning!!!
This is like the thing in Arabic countries it’s called “awama” and we soak it in a syrup called “cutir” they are so good my uncle is really good at making them.
In Egypt we call this zalabya and in the Arab world in general It’s called awameh (float) . I love it so much!! I didn’t know making it was this simple 😍
Hi Emma, these look absolutely appetizing but how many doughnuts does the recipe actually yield? I'm planning to make this today and I'm afraid it'll be too much.
I love your channel. It's one of the most underrated cooking channels on RU-vid. Your instructions are so clear and your recipes are so well communicated. One of my fav channels 💓🔥 Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
How much yeast is needed? Bcs u haven’t gave a clear amount n I really want to make them but idk how much yeast I need Emma how much have u used in grams?
I never made donuts before but these were tastier than I expected! I tried honey glaze, maple syrup, and just plain sugar. I couldn't get them to look quite as uniform as in the video, and putting the dough into the bag was hard. But thank you for sharing! I can't go to the donut shops anymore but these satisfied my cravings!
I made this it was soooooo pillowy n soft omg😱🤩🤩🤩so easy to make n very less ingredients 😍😍🤓These tastes exactly like what we call in the Middle East as "luqaimat" or arabian dumplings... Now on this is my go to recipe for sure😋😍😍 And its usually eaten with date syrup or honey as glaze.. But for a change i glazed it with the sugar glaze used for donuts.. It ws really great as well... Thank you so much for this recipe Emma❤️😊😊😍
