Lokma

1 . Stage

Combine flour, yeast, orange zest, and salt in a bowl. Add water and orange juice; stir for a couple minutes. Mixture should be easily stirred with a spoon, but not too watery. Add honey and stir some more. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size and the surface has small bubbles, about 30 minutes.

2 . Stage

Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.

3 . Stage

Dip your hand in the dough and use your palm to squeeze out a small portion of dough between your thumb and index finger, like you are making a fist. Grab the dough ball off your hand with a spoon and carefully lower the ball into the hot oil. Repeat this procedure until the surface off the pan is comfortably filled with lokmas.

4 . Stage

Fry, turning often, until lokma are golden and evenly cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.

5 . Stage

Drizzle lokma with as much honey as you like. Serve warm.
