Loukoumades (Greek donuts with honey) are a simple but delightful Greek dessert. These Greek donuts are fried until golden and crispy while remaining soft on the inside. Finish it with honey syrup or powdered sugar and crushed nuts. Easy Greek donuts with honey syrupCrisp and golden on the outside and soft on the inside, loukoumades are the Greek version of donuts or, more accurately, donut holes. They're little balls of fried dough bliss that are topped with a sweet honey syrup. Add some crushed nuts, ice cream or even chocolate sauce and you have yourself a fine, decadent These loukoumades begin with a simple dough that's left to rise for an hour then rolled into donut balls, which are quickly fried then dipped into the honey syrup. The honey syrup contains just 3 ingredients and can easily be prepared while the dough rises, allowing these Greek donut holes to come together quickly. While honey is really all you need forserving, I love to top these off with some cinnamon, powdered sugar and crushed nuts. If you want to be super indulgent, add a scoop of ice cream or chocolate syrup. What you'll needThese Greek donuts are made with a handful of pantry staples and topped with a simple 3 ingredient syrup. For the Loukoumades

How to make loukoumadesThis Greek treat is super easy to make, just make sure to account for an hour of rise time for the dough.
Tips for successFor perfectly golden loukoumades, there are a few things to be aware of and keep in mind as you fry them.
Serving suggestionsLoukoumades can be served with just honey, powdered sugar and cinnamon as I do in this recipe or if you want to be extra indulgent, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chocolate sauce on top. I do recommend the crushed nuts for a little crunchy twist to balance the soft and sweet textures. How to store leftoversLoukoumades should be enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Unfortunately, they do not hold up well for making ahead or storing leftovers. You can try to store leftover donuts in an airtight container on the counter for a day or so (without the syrup) but I find that fresh is really the way to go. If you don't think you'll be able to finish off all 60 of them, you can easily cut this recipe in half as well. More dessert ideas:
