Love this recipe - made them last year for hanukkah after reading that loukoumathes were probably one of the foods that were eaten at the earliest hanukkahs :) Delicious and easy to make, everyone loved them. Also not too sweet..I don't like donuts as I find them too sweet usually, these were pleasantly sweet but not overly so, unless you covered them completely in honey that is! I also like that this recipe doesn't call for dry yeast which I don't have in my pantry all the time.
