     Title: Doughnuts In Cardamom Syrup 
Categories: Jewish, Arab, Doughnuts
  Servings: 4

  1 3/4 c  warm water plus 
      1 c  water 
      2    envelopes active dry yeast 
  3 3/4 c  all-purpose flour, sifted 
      2 c  plus 2 tablespoons sugar 
    3/4 ts salt 
      1 c  sliced almonds 
      2 TB fresh lemon juice 
      2 ts ground cardamom 
      1 ts rose water Vegetable oil,
           for frying 

In a large bowl, combine the 1 3/4 cups of warm water with the yeast
and let stand for 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the
flour, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt. Turn the dough out
onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead lightly until the dough
is silky. Oil a medium bowl and add the dough. Cover with plastic
wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch
down the dough, then let it rise again for another 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds in a pie
plate and bake for 10 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine the
remaining 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water with the lemon juice
and cardamom and simmer over moderate heat until reduced by half;
strain. Let cool slightly, then stir in the rose water. 

In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 325°. Meanwhile,
divide the dough into quarters. Cut each quarter into 10 pieces.
Using wet hands, shape into balls and poke a hole in the center of
each. Carefully add the doughnuts to the hot oil in batches and fry
until browned, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. 

Dip 1 side of each doughnut in the syrup and sprinkle with the
almonds; serve. 

Make Ahead The recipe can be made through Step 1; then the doughnut
dough can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature
before proceeding.
