Ingredients

Servings:

300 g	flour

Steps

mix5 min
loose sticky batter
Mix flour, yeast, sugar and warm water into a smooth loose batter. It should be much softer than bread dough; stiffness prevents the fritters from expanding into airy irregular balls.
rest45 min
covered, doubled and bubbly
Let the batter rise until visibly bubbly and roughly doubled. The trapped fermentation gas is what creates the open interior when spoonfuls hit hot oil.
fry15 min
175 C / 350 F oil, deep golden and crisp
Drop small portions of batter into hot oil using wet or oiled spoons and fry in batches, turning until evenly golden. Small portions cook through before the exterior becomes too dark; oversized fritters stay doughy inside.
simmer3 min
honey loosened and warm
Warm the honey with a small splash of water just until fluid enough to drizzle. Do not cook it into hard candy syrup; the goal is a fragrant coating that soaks only the outer crust.
top2 min
serve immediately
Drizzle the hot fritters with warm honey and finish with cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Serve immediately while the exterior remains crisp beneath the syrup.
