Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well to combine.
~3 min - 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and orange blossom water until smooth.
~2 min - 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
~3 min - 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat to approximately 180°C (350°F).
~5 min - 5
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
~10 min - 6
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
~8 min - 7
While the fritters are still warm, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Drizzle the warm honey over the fritters.
~2 min - 8
Dust the fritters with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.
~1 min
Tips
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying. Too cold and the fritters will absorb too much oil; too hot and they will burn before cooking through.
- For an extra floral touch, you can infuse the honey with a sprig of lavender for a few hours before using.
