List of Ingredients
- 3 1/2 C. of flour
- 3/4 C. of honey
- 1/2 C. of sugar
- 1/4 c. + 2 TSP. of butter
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tangerine
- 1 orange
- Peanut oil
- Sugar sprinkles
- Grand Marnier
- Salt
Method
In a large bowl, combine the flour with the sugar, the softened butter chopped into small pieces, the eggs, the egg yolks, the grated zest of 1/2 orange and 1 tangerine, a pinch of salt and a splash of Grand Marnier.
Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth ball; cover and let it rest for 2 hours.
Pull off small amounts of the dough and form ropes about 3/10 of an inch thick; cut them into small pieces and roll them between your hands to form small balls, then fry them in hot oil, a few at a time, until golden. Drain them on paper towels.
Warm the honey in a large saucepan and, when it has melted, drop the struffoli into it and mix until they are all well covered.
Remove the struffoli from the honey and set them on a serving plate. Decorate them with sugar sprinkles.
