225gr of fresh anari (myzithra)
1 beaten egg
2-3 bay leaves

In a pan, add the butter and a bay leaf and fry the doughnuts until golden brown. In a small pot, heat the honey and dip the doughnuts in it so as to absorb it. Leave them stand for 30 minutes before serving. (Nikos Vassiliades and Savvoulla Menelaou, Cooking Cypriot food 2014)
