Ingredients:

  • for the dough
  • 4 cups of multipurpose flour (600 g)
  • 2 tbsp of sugar
  • 6 tbsp of butter (80 g)
  • half a glass of rhum (white wine is ok too)
  • the zest of half a lemmon, grated
  • oil to fry (vegetable oil is great ( soybean)
  • for dressing
  • 7 oz of sugar (200 g)
  • 7 oz of honey (200 g)
  • for the decoration
  • color snowflake decors

Directions:

  1. Mix together the ingredients for the dough (except the oil to fry) to obtain a dough. (I have the dough blade in my food processor and that’s what I use but you can knead the dough by hand)
  2. If the mixture is too dry and doesn’t stick together just add milk (a tablespoon at the time)
  3. Once you have reached the right consistency (like pie crust dough) put the dough in a cling wrap foil and let it rest for half an hour
  4. Divide the dough in balls of the size of an orange
  5. Roll each ball on a wood surface on which you have springled flour, to obtain long strings of dough as shown in the pictures
  6. Cut the string to obtain little balls of the size of a peas
  7. Fry the dough balls a few at the time and let them rest on paper to absorb the excess oil
  8. One all the balls (called struffoli) are fried, in a tall pan mix honey and sugar together and let the sugar melt while you continue stirring with a wood spoon.
  9. Once the honey and sugar have turned liquid turn the fire off and pour the struffoli in the pan, mix vigorousely.
  10. Pour the hot mixture on a plate and with your wet hands give them the shape of a big donut as shown in the picture
  11. Sprinkle the powder sugar and sugar decoration on top
  12. Serve cold
