A traditional dessert that looks a bit like baklava. But even if you don&#8217;t plan a trip to Laconia, you can impress your family and your friends by making it yourself. At sidagi.gr we found the traditional recipe you should try.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients (for 8 people):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><u>For the samousades<\/u><br \/>\n2.5 cups wheat flour<br \/>\n2 tablespoons olive oil<br \/>\nJuice of half a lemon<br \/>\n1 teaspoon baking powder<br \/>\n1 glass of water sugar water<br \/>\n1 glass of water<br \/>\nNuts<br \/>\nSugar<br \/>\nCinnamon<br \/>\nCloves<br \/>\nOil for frying<\/p>\n<p><u>For the syrup<\/u><br \/>\n2 glass of water<br \/>\n1 glass of sugar<br \/>\n1 kg honey<br \/>\n1 cinnamon stick<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Implementation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you do is sift the wheat flour and pour some hot oil into it. Then rub it with your hands while adding some lemon juice, some baking powder, 1 glass of iced sugar water, and a glass of plain water. In the next stage, slowly start kneading until the dough has drunk the water. <strong>While kneading, cut the dough from time to time with a knife, fold to knead well.<\/strong> When you see that the dough is ready, let it rest. During this process break and chop the nuts with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Once the dough is ready, flour a surface and open a sheet, very thin. <strong>At first you have to pour the nut all over the surface of the leaf and start sprinkling with a little sugar and a little cinnamon.<\/strong> At one end of the sheet add a little flour, touch the rolling pin and begin to wrap the sheet around the rolling pin. When the whole sheet is finally wrapped in a roll, slowly remove the rolling pin and press with your hands to stick the leaves well together.<\/p>\n<p>Next step just before the end: Cut the roll into slices with a knife, pin a clove and toothpick to each piece so that it does not open in the frying pan. Put plenty of oil in a shallow saucepan to warm up and fry the samousades. Allow the samousades for one night to rest and the next day you put them in the syrup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to make the syrup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a saucepan, you should pour 2 glasses of water and 1 sugar and let them boil. Then add a cinnamon stick and as soon as they boil add a kilo of honey. Remove the toothpicks and put the samousades for about 10 minutes in the syrup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/en\/greece\/gastronomic-trip-to-santorini-with-tomato-meatballs-and-bousses\/25592\/#.XwrCXZMzYVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Gastronomic trip to Santorini with tomato meatballs and bouss\u00e9s<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/en\/greece\/syros-a-gastronomic-trip-with-the-traditional-recipe-for-loukoumia-turkish-delights\/25300\/#.XwrCi5MzYVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Syros: Gastronomic trip with the traditional recipe for loukoumia<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most enjoyable trips one can make is gastronomic trips.
