Instructions

To make the dough:

1

Place the water and yeast in a deep bowl and stir briefly. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then add the yoghurt, flour, semolina and cornflour.

2

Mix by hand until the mixture is smooth, then add the vegetable oil and continue mixing by hand for a few more minutes. Cover the bowl and leave to rise for about 1 hour.

For the syrup:

3

Add 200 ml of water and Splenda Granulated to a deep saucepan and stir well. Once it has come to the boil, add the lemon juice and honey and boil for a further 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a deep bowl and set aside.

4

To fry the dough, pour sunflower oil into a deep pan and wait for it to heat up completely.

5

Stir the risen dough a couple of times with a spatula, then transfer it to a piping bag. Pipe out hazelnut-sized pieces directly into the hot oil. Using a slotted spoon, turn them occasionally to ensure the dough balls brown evenly on all sides.

6

As soon as the dough balls turn a golden yellow, remove them and immediately drop them into the syrup. Prepare the entire batch of dough in this way and transfer to a serving plate.
