Using the thumb and index finger as a cap squeeze a small amount of dough, take it with a teaspoon and throw it in the hot oil. Don’t put too many pieces of dough in the pot because you will not be able to turn them on the other side and fry them. When the first batch turns golden, remove it from the pot and put it on a platter on a piece of kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil. Repeat the process until you use all the ingredients. Serve the “loukoumades” hot and pour honey, walnuts and cinnamon on them.
