HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and salt. Whisk them together until well combined.

02

Gradually add the warm water and orange blossom water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.

03

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 15 minutes. It will become slightly puffy.

04

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

05

Lightly oil your hands. Take a small piece of dough (about 1 tablespoon), stretch it gently into a ring shape, and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Fry 2-3 fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding.

06

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Use a slotted spoon to flip them and remove them from the oil.

07

Place the fried fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

08

Arrange the warm fritters on a serving platter and drizzle generously with honey before serving immediately.
