Method
For the Syrup
Combine together in a saucepan & bring to the boil. Set aside. (you can add a splash of rosewater or orange blossom water for added flavour)
 For the Batter
Dissolve the yeast in 250ml warm water & allow to froth. Add this to the flour & salt & add more warm water to create a batter, that is quite wet, but holds together. Cover & set aside to double in size (about 1hr). Drop teaspoons of batter into hot oil & then cook on both sides, until golden. Drain & drop into the syrup. Arrange on a plate & scatter with crushed pistachios, & serve with mascarpone or cream. Serve hot. These are also great stuffed with a small wedge of fresh fig, or stuffed dates.   For the Dates
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until you have a course paste. Stuff the date half then drop into the batter & fry.
