    List of Ingredients

    SYRUP:
    5 cups sugar
    2½ cups water
    2 - 4 oz. lemon juice

    FRITTERS:
    2 tsp. active dry yeast
    1 tsp. sugar
    1/4 cup warm water
    2¼ cups all-purpose flour
    2 eggs
    1/3 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup oil

    Recipe

    Heat 5 cups sugar and 2½ cups water to make a thin syrup, add lemon juice and set aside.

    Dissolve yeast and sugar in a bowl with 1/4 cup warm water. Add 1/4 cup flour. Mix until smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Add rest of flour, eggs and salt, blending well. Beat for 7-8 minutes forming a thick sticky batter. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until double.

    Heat oil. Using oiled teaspoon drop 1 teaspoonful of thick batter into heated oil. Drop as many at a time as they can be turned easily while frying. Stir and turn lokmas constantly as they rise to surface. Brown until golden.

    Use a slotted spoon to remove as many at a time as possible; drain. Drop into cold syrup immediately. Let stand 30-40 minutes while lokmas absorb syrup. Remove from syrup and serve warm or at room temperature. Store under refrigeration.
