First time I tried these was at a Greek festival held at an Orthodox church here in town. Lordy, I was hooked on the first bite. They were still warm from being cooked and were heaven on a plate. We attend this festival now every year for these honey puffs, the saganaki, the lamb and the Greek sausages. If you have never been to one of these events, make it a point to go if you have one in your area.

Ooh how I have missed having these since my Yia Yia passed away. Guess I will have to start making them now that I have the recipe. And thank you Yia Yia for sharing your recipe♡🌹🙏🏾♥️

Thank you for showing us how to make this loukoumathes my family love and enjoyed it. 😊

I had these many years ago at the Greek Festival in Dayton, Ohio. I am definitely going to be making some very soon. Can't wait!

our yia yia loves you...best cook, best voice. sagapoumai!

You are Beautiful! I want you to know that I watch this video if at anytime I feel down: I make my loukoumadakia, I listen to your songs, and all is perfect in the world! Euxapisto kai na'sai panta kala!

Thank you for recepy looks really nice one suggestion is if you could of open on so we could see inside otherwise I enjoyed your video very much thank you.

You can use lemon in the dough instead of oil. That makes them crispy too.

@YiayiasGreekkitchen Yummy I am going to have to make these. How are you doing Yiayyia?

..THANKS...

You remind me of my mother who loved to cook and sing. Xox o Theos na se exi panda kala xo

More than your cooking I love your singing 😄😄😄Hi Yia Yia...Where are you???

How much dry yeast did she say to use?

Hi Yiayia, I have tried making loukoumades many times, but they end up like little bread rolls, what am I doing wrong. I have tried many recipies, even Self Raising Flour recipies, I will try yours cause they look great, just afraid they will end up like zimi. Penny

Hi Penny my mum makes them and she said if you shallow fry high chance they can turn into flat loukoumathes once they come out. She says have a deep pot with more oil and they should turn out fine.

I have lucky grand children don't I?

Yummmy ... oreo!

Zeto yiayia 🇨🇦

How much water did yaya use, mine took more 2 and half cups.

Άπαιχτη η γιαγιά :-)

That is originally Arabic dish, its called lokaimat, means bites, we eat it with honey sugar mix or with dates syrup.

That's not so clear (but I'd love a source if you have one). What is clear is that the Seleucid Empire (Successor Kingdoms), followed by the Roman Empire, followed by the Ottoman Empire, allowed dishes to come across all parts of the realm.

Wtf are you saying the Greeks have had loukumades before the Turks became Turks. Same with the Italians.

Please don't sing
