directions

  • In a mixing bowl slowly combine the cornstarch, yogurt, peanut oil and baking soda and mix together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Add just enough water (about 1/2 cup) to make a batter which is thin enough to pour through a large funnel.
  • In a saucepan bring the sugar and 2 cups of water to a boil. Boil rapidly for about 5 minutes and then add the honey.
  • Reduce the flame and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes longer. Set aside to keep warm.
  • Into a large heavy skillet pour 1" of the vegetable oil and heat to 360degF(185 C).
  • Hold a finger on the tip of a large funnel and fill with the batter.
  • Open the funnel halfway and release enough batter into the hot fat to make 2 or 3 circles on top of each other for a single fritter (about 3" in diameter). Fry until golden and then remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel for several seconds.
  • Dip the fritter in the warm syrup and place on a cake rack to drain.
  • Continue until all of the batter has been used, adding oil to the skillet only if necessary.
  • Cool and store in airtight containers.
  • Can be served with strong coffee or hot tea.
