What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Mix the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
- 2
Add the warm water and egg, then make a sticky dough as thick as cake batter.
- 3
Rest the dough for 50 minutes, until risen and bubbly on the surface.
50 min50:00 - 4
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C.
- 5
Drop small portions of dough with an oiled spoon and fry for 3 minutes.
3 min03:00 - 6
Transfer the fried luqaimat to the date syrup and turn them for 2 minutes.
2 min02:00 - 7
Sprinkle with sesame and serve hot.
💡 Tip: The dough should be loose enough to slide off the spoon; stiff dough makes luqaimat heavy like dense lokma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot luqaimat with date syrup and sesame, alongside unsweetened tea to balance the sweetness.
