Diples
Also known as: Peloponnesian Honey Twists
Peloponnese fried pastry ribbons soaked in honey syrup and finished with walnuts and cinnamon.
About Diples
Diples are Greek fried pastry ribbons especially associated with the Peloponnese. This profile follows the thin, folded honey-syrup version finished with walnuts and cinnamon.
The crisp egg dough absorbs floral honey syrup while retaining a fried, toasty edge. Cinnamon gives warm fragrance and chopped walnuts add an earthy, gently bitter crunch.
The pastries are thin golden ribbons, often curled or folded, with a crackly surface glossed by syrup. Walnut pieces and cinnamon cling to the ridges and contrast with the delicate layers.
