Instructions

1. Mix the flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, instant yeast and ground cardamom in a large bowl until smooth.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature or in an oven turned off for 1 hour, until the batter almost doubles.
3. Pour vegetable oil to fill a third of a saucepan and heat over medium heat to 350°F.
4. Stir the batter. Keep a small bowl of cold oil nearby. Dip a 1/2 teaspoon measure in the cold oil, scoop batter and drop it into the hot oil. Fry 4 to 6 at a time, re-dipping the spoon in cold oil each time and stirring occasionally. Alternatively, pipe the batter from a plastic bag with a snipped corner and cut the dough into the oil with oiled scissors.
5. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
6. Lift out with a slotted spoon and toss in the date syrup to coat.
7. Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve warm.
