Wonderful Luqaimat dessert recipe. It's part of the Saudi Arabia cuisine.

Ingredients:

for batter:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 2-2 1/4 cups warm milk
• 3 tablespoons yogurt

• 1/2 cup water
  

Preparation:

For batter :

• Sift dry ingredients into bowl.

• Mixture should be of middling texture, not watery and not too thick. Just somewhat thicker than a pancake batter consistency.
• Leave to rise in a warm place for 1/2 an hour.
• Heat oil, when hot drop batter in by teaspoonfuls and cook until just golden brown.
• Drain and then place immediately into syrup and toss to coat.
• When coated completely remove and place on serving dish. Serve warm.

For Syrup :
