How To Make Easy And Practical Delicious Lokma Dessert At Home?

Lokma dessert is a type of dessert widely consumed in Turkish cuisine. The word “Lokma” means “mouthful of food” in Turkish. Lokma dessert is made by fermenting the dough, frying it in oil and mixing it with syrup.

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup milk
• 100 grams of butter or margarine
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Syrup:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Frying:

• Sunflower oil or corn oil

For Garnish (Optional):

• Crushed pistachios or shredded coconut

Instructions:

Preparing the Syrup:

1. To prepare the syrup, take granulated sugar and water in a deep saucepan.
2. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.
3. Once the sugar is dissolved, add lemon juice and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. Then, remove from heat and let it cool down.

Making the Dough:

1. In a large saucepan, combine water, milk, butter or margarine, granulated sugar, and salt.
2. Stir until the ingredients come to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat.
3. Gradually add flour while stirring quickly. Be quick to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Once the dough starts to come together and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan, stop stirring and let it cool down.

Frying the Dough:

1. Once the dough has cooled down, heat the oil for frying. Wait until the oil reaches a temperature of 180-190°C (350-375°F).
2. Take walnut-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls between your palms.
3. Lightly grease your fingers with oil and shape the dough into balls. This will help the dough to fry evenly.
4. Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown. Flip them occasionally using a spatula or spoon.

Soaking the Lokmas in Syrup:

1. Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, remove the fried dough balls from the oil and immediately transfer them to the prepared syrup.
2. Let the hot lokmas soak in the syrup for a few seconds to allow them to absorb the syrup evenly.

Serving:

1. Once the lokmas have soaked up the syrup, transfer them to a serving plate.
2. Optionally, sprinkle crushed pistachios or shredded coconut over the lokmas for garnish.
3. Lokma Turkish donuts can be served warm or cold. Enjoy your delicious homemade lokmas!
