Just like every Mediterranean nation, Cyprus must have the ‘cherry’ on the top of the pie! After enjoying a mouth-watering portion of ‘souvlaki’ or ‘sheftalies’ during a local celebration or an outdoor festival, you will be thrilled to try out these golden honey dumplings. Their history goes back to the First Olympic Games of 776 B.C. when these fluffy honey ‘donuts’ were served to the winners. Unlike ‘baklava,’ Loukoumades are deep-fried in oil and served hot. In order to preserve their juicy taste and round form, make them in batches and eat them fresh!
