Loukoumades, one of my favourite Greek pastries, are sweet fritters (similar to doughnuts) that are deep fried till golden brown and served warm with a honey syrup, sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts. These light airy, crispy pastries are the perfect dessert for a celebratory meal. Just be prepared to get deliciously messy when eating these purely yummy puffs.
