Directions
- On a baking board mix all ingredients except the honey.
- Work it like a regular dough, not too soft.
- Take a small piece at a time, with your hands roll it into a long strip adding a little flour to your hands so it makes it easy to roll it.
- With knife cut in small pieces, roll them into balls, sprinkle a little flour on it and set in trays.
- In a pot add the frying oil, when hot, start to fry them a portion at a time, whatever the pot holds.
- Continue stirring the Struffoli until light brown.
- With a draining spoon place them in dishes over a paper towel, also use paper towel between each layer so it will absorb the oil.
- When all done frying, prepare another pot and melt honey over medium heat.
- Drop in the "struffoli" , small portions at a time, same as when you fry them.
- Stir a little, let them flavor in the honey, and place them in ice cream cones .
- Sprinkle some holiday confetti to decorate.
