Ingredients:

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp grated orange zest
  • 1 cup honey
  • multicolored candy sprinkles

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Add the eggs and zest. Stir until well blended.
  3. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add a little more flour if dough seems sticky.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with an overturned bowl. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Roll the dough into 1/2-inch thick ropes then cut into 1/2-inch nuggets.
  7. Heat about 2 inches of oil to 370 degrees F. in a wide saucepan or deep fryer.
  8. Begin adding struffoli in batches into the oil to fit without crowding.
  9. Cook, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon, until crisp and brown, about 1 minute.
  10. Remove the struffoli with the slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain.
  11. When all the struffoli are fried, gently heat the honey just to a simmer in a wide saucepan.
  12. Remove the honey from the heat, add the struffoli and coat well.
  13. Pile the struffoli into a mound on a large platter. Dust with the multicolored sprinkles.
  14. Best served the day they are made.
