I might have to add this to my menu next week. My husband and I honeymooned in Greece 20 years ago and because of covid we can not celebrate at a restaurant. Instead I am going to make a Greek feast based on Akis recipes I have seen on this channel. Efcharistó
The Italian version is called strufoli or pignolata and is traditionally served during the xmas holidays. Orange and lemon zest is added to the honey syrup at the end of boiling and then tossed with the fried dough balls. They usually are tossed with candied fruit and colored sprinkles. When I make them I try to give a lot away because I can eat the whole tray.
It is always a pleasure to see our common cultures, how it is influenced so long. I love your channel. Lovely greetings from a turkish girl from Germany 😊
Akis, I have to say I like them made both ways with the honey and with the way you're making it in this video. Thank you again for sharing your lovely videos. By the way I have always loved the Greek accent speaking English.
Good morning my friend they look absolutely delicious I will have all of them I’m having my coffee my morning coffee right now and they look absolutely yummy thank you for sharing this wonderful delicious recipe of lookomades enjoy your day and God bless🙏💕😋🌏🇬🇷🇨🇦💕
These from the little shop in Heraklion, so good! Also with chocolate sauce! Now I need to make them at home as I can’t wait till summer when I’m back in Greece.
Wonderful recipe and I love these and the first time a had them with honey and they were warm with vanilla ice cream, delicious. Congratulations on the birth of your son
I like baklava. I usually make my own, with honey, no sugar. I haven't tried this on every trip to Greece. I've been to some of the islands, a little bit.😋
I love,love,love your accent! I'm Serbian Russian, and listening to you reminds me of my family ,just love you! BTW, do you have a recipe for Greek cookies? My Mother would make them every Christmas! Thx! ❤
Than you so much Aki you’ve done it again 👏👏👏. I have a very important question for me though, we often have gatherings with large groups and I will have to make Loukoumades the day before as I won’t have time on the day (other things to do and cook) my worry is though that I want them to stay crispy when I serve them… please help
Αυτά τα λουκουμαδακια είναι πάντως καιρού.... Με κρύο με ζεστη, μετα από πίκρα, με τον καφέ, μετά από φαγητό.... Είναι είναι ΕΊΝΑΙ ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΑ στο είδος τους!!!!! 😘....
This is indeed THE BEST Greek cooking channel ! These honey dumplings looks sexy and super delicious😋 ! Definitely gonna try to make those but I have to be careful, because if I get the stove dirty like that my wife will kill me 🤭🤭
I need to show my Yiayia this video of the metal fork in the honey, she’s convinced to only use wood or plastic in the honey jar not to ruin the honey 😂
It is true. ONLY use wood or plastic spoon. Akis is addicted to sweet food and had NO time or patience to look for wooden spoon. He must be using the GREEK honey, no matter what you use GREEK honey is always best. 🍯🍯🥄🍴🍯🍯
These look delicious! If making these for a party, can the first fry be done ahead of time, and the second fry just before serving? If yes, how long can they sit after the first fry?

Thank you for this delicious recipe, God bless your hands, you did it so good once again🙏😊 But this should be counted as a sin what you've done (in the late of night making everyone hungry )😄😋😭🙏 By the way, at least for me politiko is ok...a baklava with lots of pistachio.....is also ok..i apologize from the fans of these two for saying this, but loukoumades may be a very orgasmic dessert if it's done properly; it should not absorb oil, long lasting crunchy outside, then when you bite it, blast of syrup in your mouth follows😭😭 For this reason, as for loukoumades i'm very picky in Turkey, most of them ruin the recipe totally.
GREECE'S BEST DONUTS EXTREMELY DELICIOUS ENJOYABLE AND MOUTH WATERING HIGHLY RECOMMANDED TRY THEM YOU WILL LOVE THEM THANK YOU AKI FOR THE DELICIOUS MOUTH WATERING RECIPE GO GREECE ZHTO H ELLAS
We have a counterpart of that here in the Philippines. It's called buchi but we use glutinous rice flour. Your way though is worth trying out😁 much love, stay safe always ❤️❤️❤️
Hey sexy!! Your recipes are amazing as are you. I saw a lot a desserts and ice-creams but when I was in Greece on summer vacation in Paralia, I ate amazing Greek ice-cream, can you make Greek ice-cream for me please 😍❤️❤️❤️
Hello Abla El-Farouki, regarding your question. Kindly note that Akis includes all his recipes in his description (under each video) . If you click on the little arrow under his video you will see that Akis has added a link with the recipe. I wanted to copy/paste it here for you but wasn't able to. Hope my instructions are clear and will help you to find the recipe. If you need any further help just let me know.
I tried them today but something is wrong with my recipe i guess, they are full of bubbles and a wierd taste like its uncooked, what i did wrong? I did every single step with right amount of ingredients 😑
Akis'in yakışıklılığını izlemekten yemek yapamıyorum. Because i am watching his handsomeness, i cant cook. Even if i had, i would burn all the house. Love
Hello Akis. - First, why not use a piping bag instead of the messy way you are showing us? - You look so stressed out & you make me out of breath after watching this. Like you need to make this very quickly or something. Relax! Cooking should be relaxing & fun. thank you.
You cook to shabby man. At least close the honey lid cleanly and drain the oil properly before putting them on the platter or tissue. You need to learn to be not to shabby.
Greece, a culinary paradise
Finally we got to see Katerina too. Very cool!
The much-renowned loukoumades, ladies and gentlemen!!!!!! I got puzzled by the dumplings on the title!

Thank you for the recipe! Loukoumades is my favourite Greek dessert ❤
Greek god, Akis!
I really love ur channel and videos ❤
I like baklava. I usually make my own, with honey, no sugar. I haven't tried this on every trip to Greece. I've been to some of the islands, a little bit.😋
So you can make dumplings like this! Amazing! I would definitely want to try some if I could visit Hellas some day.
I like that you chose honey instead of sugar as in other cultures! You can enjoy them guilt free!
BRAVO AKIS , DELICIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thank u! ❤️
I love,love,love your accent! I'm Serbian Russian, and listening to you reminds me of my family ,just love you! BTW, do you have a recipe for Greek cookies? My Mother would make them every Christmas! Thx! ❤
The cookies you're referring to are probably kourabiedes. Akis does have a recipe on TH-cam.
My next goal is to make this. Everyone I know loves these. I will become very popular if I learn how to make this. Efaristo para poli!
Ένα από της αγαπημένες μου γλυκές!! Το αγαπώ!!
Lukumades😋😍
Wow!!! Looks very delicious 😋
I ADORE READING
Looks so good!
Making them today!
Eating them without counting 👍👍👍😋😋😋😋
In arabain gulf we call it "luqymat" we dip them in cool syrup,,then it become crunchy,,we serve it in ramadan🥰😍
Agh, I’m so excited 😆
Loukoumades 4 Life
Yum😁😊
The Greek Loukoumades are very similar to the Siculo-Neapolitan struffolli. I'd like to eat both 🇬🇷😋🇮🇹
Love the idea to double fry! Have you ever frozen or stored dough? Like if you needed to make it ahead and fry later so they're fresh for parties?
hi Akis, hi everyone " those look yummy,
going to have to make them ", :)
reminds me of funnel cakes, or even a recipe for "sweet & sour chicken" definitely I will try with a cookie press or a piping bag 😋 Thank you!
Than you so much Aki you’ve done it again 👏👏👏. I have a very important question for me though, we often have gatherings with large groups and I will have to make Loukoumades the day before as I won’t have time on the day (other things to do and cook) my worry is though that I want them to stay crispy when I serve them… please help

Καλησπέρα μπράβο σου
I need to show my Yiayia this video of the metal fork in the honey, she’s convinced to only use wood or plastic in the honey jar not to ruin the honey 😂
Don't you dare. Yiayias know the best, if it's a Greek or Armenian yiayia😅
It is true. ONLY use wood or plastic spoon. Akis is addicted to sweet food and had NO time or patience to look for wooden spoon. He must be using the GREEK honey, no matter what you use GREEK honey is always best. 🍯🍯🥄🍴🍯🍯
These look delicious! If making these for a party, can the first fry be done ahead of time, and the second fry just before serving? If yes, how long can they sit after the first fry?
You can make them several hours in advance. Alternatively you can put them in the freezer after frying them once and fry whenever you want. 😉
@@akispetretzikisen Awesome! Ευχαριστώ πολύ! :)
I m living in UAE and they have similar popular luqaimat.
We have the same in Egypt
Akis, I love those, absolutely yummy. Cat eat too many of those otherwise my belly would get big, LOL

akis = greece
It's such an old recipe. I hear it's actually ancient greek!
My weight just jumped up 3 kilos, just by watching. 😆☀️🌻🐝
✔Me watching your videos 🤓
With the frying, what you are doing is called blanching.
You have make dribbling
@1:21 - that jar with a big glob of honey dripping down the side is stressing me out, Akis...
Hey sexy!! Your recipes are amazing as are you. I saw a lot a desserts and ice-creams but when I was in Greece on summer vacation in Paralia, I ate amazing Greek ice-cream, can you make Greek ice-cream for me please 😍❤️❤️❤️

Very similar to the levanese arab Awwama sweer
I tried them today but something is wrong with my recipe i guess, they are full of bubbles and a wierd taste like its uncooked, what i did wrong? I did every single step with right amount of ingredients 😑
Maybe you should fry them more time. Be careful with the temperature of the oil.
it looks like "lokma" in turkey. And it's already too sweet.
Did you spill honey? I will be diabetic.

Akis'in yakışıklılığını izlemekten yemek yapamıyorum. Because i am watching his handsomeness, i cant cook. Even if i had, i would burn all the house. Love
Katerina is a koukla
That wasn't a pinch of salt lol.
Batter is too runny!
Hello Akis.
- First, why not use a piping bag instead of the messy way you are showing us?
- You look so stressed out & you make me out of breath after watching this. Like you need to make this very quickly or something.
Relax! Cooking should be relaxing & fun.
thank you.
You cook to shabby man. At least close the honey lid cleanly and drain the oil properly before putting them on the platter or tissue. You need to learn to be not to shabby.
Jealous much, BECAUSE you can't cook like that, and probably not at all..
Akis, what happened? They are the worst loukoumathes I have ever seen.
