'awwamaat Lebanese Sweet



'awwamaat
These are beautiful when my friend Jane and I had a Lebanese night at the Healthy Happening many moons ago these were a hit they are like a donut
4 cups pastry flour
Yogurt
1/4 tsp. soda
1/2 cups olive oil 

Sift flour and mix with yogurt and soda. Knead well together. Heat olive oil until almost smoking. Drop dough by the teaspoonful into hot oil. Fry only a few at a time. They quickly rise to the surface, brown, and are ready to be skimmed out of the fat. Drain on absorbent paper. When all the 'awwamaat are fried, dip a few at a time in sugar syrup

Syrup Sugar
A syrup made by cooking sugar, water and corn syrup over medium heat (240°F / 115°C) until it reaches the soft-ball stage
Serve the doughnuts hot or cold.
