Step 1
In a large bowl mix the all purpose flour with the cornstarch, sugar, salt, instant yeast and ground cardamom until smooth and combined.
Step 2
Cover with a plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature or in an "off" oven for 1 hour. The batter will almost double in size.
Step 3
Fill 1/3 of a saucepan with vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
Step 4
Give the batter a good stir. Fill a small bowl with some cold oil and set aside. Dip a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon in cold oil and then scoop the batter and drop into the hot oil. Repeat with a few more and fry 4 to 6 luqaimat at a time. Make sure to dip the spoon in cold oil every time. Stir them a few times while frying to make sure they fry evenly.
Step 5
Fry the luqaimat until they are golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, take the luqaimat out of the hot oil and into the bowl with date syrup. Toss them a few times so they are coated with date syrup.
Step 6
Arrange the luqaimat on a plate and top with sesame seeds. Serve warm.
