FRIED PANCAKES WITH HONEY

The ancient recipe: Fried Pancakes with Honey and Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp honey
• Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Mix the flour, water and 1 tbsp honey to form the batter. Heat some olive oil in a pan and add ¼ of the batter to the pan. When the mixture thickens, turn it 2 or 3 times until it is golden on both sides. Make 3 more pancakes with the rest of the batter.  Serve with honey and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Similar to today’s: Loukoumades, a Greek doughnut ( batter with yeast ) fried in olive oil and drenched in honey. A kind of sweet the Greeks could eat during difficult economic periods and which are still eaten.
