Note
It’s better to serve this Loukumades with the help of Toothpicks to make it easier to take them.
For the frozen version, you can just fry the original Loukumades until it's stiff, not golden brown yet. Remove, chill. Then pack in a closed container. Store in the freezer as usual.
It can last longer, around 3 to 6 months, depending on the quality of the packing and the stability of the electricity in the house.
Once we need it, just re-fry it until golden brown.
For another luxurious version, besides replacing cornstarch with custard, there are also those who add about 2 tbsp. of Zabadi aka plain yogurt to the dough.
So yeah, there are really many variants of the Loukumades Donut dough, just choose according to taste.
