Ingredients for the syrup:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 2\u00bd cups water<\/li>\n
• 2\u00bd cups sugar<\/li>\n
• freshly squeezed juice of \u00bc lemon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Additionally:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • chopped or ground pistachios, for sprinkling<\/li>\n
  • oil, for deep-frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Prepare the syrup first. Place the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for approximately 15 minutes, until the syrup has thickened. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and stir. Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

    Place the flour, dried yeast (if using fresh yeast, first prepare a yeast starter), egg, water, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Knead until the dough is smooth, soft and sticky. Cover with cling film or a linen tea towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in volume.<\/p>\n

    Heat the oil in a wide saucepan to 175\u00b0C. Tear off tiny balls of dough from the risen dough and drop them into the hot oil (you can also scoop up the dough with a teaspoon dipped in oil each time). Fry on both sides until golden brown. Immediately transfer the fried lokma to the cold syrup. After a few minutes, once they have absorbed the syrup, remove them to a plate.<\/p>\n

    Sprinkle with pistachios or other nuts and serve.<\/p>\n

    * 1 cup = 250 ml.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
