    You are so pleasant to watch, you explain everything perfectly, thank you! My husband is Greek and I'm surprising him today with a Greek meal. All of the things I'm making are your recipes, thanks again!

    I think I'm the only Greek who prefers them with powdered sugar over the syrup. When I was a kid, I would stand next to my mom as she fried them. So I could intercept some before they went into the syrup. She'd get so mad that I was going against Greek tradition. She would hit me with the oily slotted spoon, trying to shoo me away.

    I made this for my sons 5th grade class history project and it was such a hit with the kids,parents and teachers. I rolled some in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar. My family is from Northern India and my mom used to make something very much like this flavored with cardamon and sprinkled with finely chopped pistachios. Thank you for sharing:)

    They look yummy.This recipe has been known for ages here, but we make it smaller in size and we do not dip it honey, just sugar syrup. I didn't know that it was a Greek recipe. Anyways, I think all Mediterranean peoples have a lot of recipes in common, that's why they have the best food in the world :) Greetings from Jordan.

    I wasn't searching, but your video just popped up. Now the important part; I've been searching for my Italian grandma's recipe for what is called sfinge. A little smaller than golfball size, and very spongy deserts dipped in honey, and piled in a pyramid fashion usually made around Christmas. I could never find the recope because the final product was usually a hard ball instead of a soft almost hollow dessert. I suppose you could also fill them with a cream, but they were so delicious just without, but always very spongy, and honey like. She would alos intersperse whole almonds (just a few) into the pile of sfinge. It is pronounced safeengee. Thank you thank you for this recipe. I've been searching so long, I gave up, and yours comes to me out of the blue. Wonderful!

    I was helping my daughter make a Greek dish for her class project and since we are not Greek we did not know where to start. I know my daughter loves donuts so I thought I google Greek donuts and came across many recipes on how to make loukoumade donuts. I have to be honest, I never heard of loukoumade donuts until this research. Well, there are many recipes out there and many have large variations of ingredients and directions. I wasn't sure I was able to help her, but thank God I came across your TH-cam video on how to make it with a link to your recipe. You were easy to follow, the ingredients were simple (not that I mind but being that this was a last minute project I wasn't sure if I had all the ingredients at hand), and you were personable. So I said all this to say, Thank You! for helping me out of this dilemma (I wound up doing the whole thing by myself, typical). It is now going on 3 am and I am still waiting for my dough to rise BUT the hard part is over. The rest of the this journey is easy-breezy. So thank you once again and I appreciate all of the work you put into this recipe; and I'll say thanks from my daughter and all of her classmates in advance as well, lol. Have a beautiful day :)

    I had these when my family lived in Greece. Our landlady, Tula, invited us up and was making them. Fresh and warm with the syrup made, of course, with Greek honey. What else would she use in Greece in 1975. It was, and still is, the most incredible thing I have ever eaten. I just ordered some Greek honey on Amazon and can’t wait to make them.

    They serve honey puffs at the Greek Festival in Dayton, Ohio, and I love them. Thanks for sharing this recipe and the tip on testing the oil readiness with a skewer. BTW, your home is beautiful.

    I just tested my first batch and they are so good! Thank you for sharing your recipes. Over the last 4-5 days, I’ve made your eggplant lasagna and chicken scampi. All delicious! I feel like most of my meals miss the mark with other recipes but not with yours. I can’t wait to try more!

    These look amazing! I’ve been craving them but apprehensive about tackling them. You’ve made it look so easy, like everything else you cook! I agree with a previous poster, you are so pleasant to watch!! Ευχαριστώ!
