Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, instant yeast and cardamom until smooth and evenly combined.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature or in an oven switched off for 1 hour, until the batter almost doubles in size.
3. Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan to one-third full and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
4. Stir the batter well. Keep a small bowl of cold oil nearby. Dip a 1/2 teaspoon measure in cold oil, scoop batter, and drop it into the hot oil.
5. Fry 4 to 6 pieces at a time, dipping the spoon in cold oil each time and stirring a few times so they cook evenly. Alternatively, pipe the batter from a plastic bag with a snipped corner into the oil and cut the strands with oiled scissors.
6. Fry until golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and toss in the date syrup until coated.
7. Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve warm.
