Steps for making luqaimat (dumplings)
1
Place the flour, sugar, saffron, cornstarch, and yeast in a mixing bowl, then attach the paddle attachment and run the mixer on low speed until the dry ingredients are combined.
2
Add the milk gradually, then increase the mixer speed to medium and continue kneading for 5 minutes.
3
Cover the dough bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
4
Heat a generous amount of oil over low heat until it reaches a suitable temperature for frying.
5
We spray the machine used for shaping dumplings with oil, then place the dough inside after removing the air from it.
6
Alternatively, grease a piping bag or a heat-resistant bag with oil on all sides, then place the dough inside and cut off the bottom. Using a small, oiled spoon, form small balls of dough and drop them directly into the oil until the surface of the pan is filled.
7
Alternatively, take a handful of dough and squeeze it so it comes out between your fingers, or use a small, oiled spoon to cut the dough and place it directly into the hot oil to form round balls.
8
Stir the dumplings constantly until they acquire a uniform golden color, then remove them from the oil and place them in a strainer to remove excess oil.
9
Dip the dumplings in syrup, molasses, or honey, then place them on a serving plate.
