Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare the syrup:
  
  Combine the sugar, honey, lime zest and juice, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. The syrup can be refrigerated, covered, for up to three days; reheat before serving.
Step 2
• Prepare the fritters:
  
  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup water, egg yolks, oil, and salt to form a runny batter.
Step 3
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 cm of vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F) on a deep-fry thermometer. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter at a time into the hot oil and fry the fritters, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Reheat the oil to 175°C (350°F) between batches. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Drizzle with lime syrup.
Step 4
• You can fry the fritters up to 4 hours in advance. Serve them chilled or reheat in the oven at 190°C.
