SYRUPY FRIED PASTRY PUFFS WITH NUTS

Pitikas are thinly rolled delicate deep-fried pastries generously drizzled with warm honey syrup infused with fragrant orange blossom water. These Rhodes-style Sephardic treats are sensational when topped with crushed almonds or pistachios, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, and finished with a dusting of cinnamon.

Stacked high on a platter, pitikas make a magnificent dessert served on their own or paired with a scoop of your favorite ice cream and fresh berries. Light, crisp, and irresistibly sweet, pitikas are the perfect deep-fried pastry for Hanukkah.
