Loukoumathes Me Portokali: Orange Honey Puffs

"These small puffs of fried dough are another version of the honey-drizzled traditional loukoumathes recipe. Instead of being drizzled with honey, they are dipped in a delicious orange-flavored syrup. A favorite Hanukkah treat. Trying to add a Greek recipe or two to my cookbook."
