Luqaimat (small bites) emirati dessert

• 2 cup flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp yeast
• 1 tbsp powdered milk
• 2 tsp cardamon powder
• 1 pinch saffron
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 1 cup water
• 1 Oil for frying

1. In a deep bowl mix the flour, sugar, powdered milk, cardamon, saffron, and yeast.
2. Create a "well" in the dry mixture and add the water, oil, eggs, and yogurt.
3. Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated, the consistency is similar to pancake batter.
4. Cover the bowl and place in a warm place for an hour or until it doubles in size.
5. After the dough has risen beat it with your hand or a spoon to deflate it.
6. In a frying pan add enough oil for deep frying and heat it.
7. Once the oil has heated take a scoop of the dough with your hand and drop it into the oil (drop it close to the oil so that the oil doesn't splash on you) or using 2 tablespoons scoop the dough with one spoon and use the other spoon to drop the dough into the oil.
8. Fry the dough balls until they are golden brown and place then on kitchen napkins to absorb any excess oil
9. Usually we eat these with date syrup, but you can also eat them with honey, simple syrup, powdered sugar, etc.
