Strufoli

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and margarine.

Add flour, 1 cup at a time.

The last ½ cup of flour can be added if necessary to make a smooth dough.

Let dough stay in bowl, covered with a dish, for ½ hour.

Roll out portions of dough.

Cut dough into strips, rounded like pretzels, then cut in ½ inch pieces.

Heat about 2½ inches of oil in the bottom of a pan.

Fry the pieces of dough, a handful at a time.

If you can do this in a frying basket, it will be easier to take them out.

Place pieces on paper towels to drain.

Heat honey until just under the boiling point.

Place strufoli in a bowl and drizzle honey over them, gently tossing.

Arrange on a large platter and sprinkle with confetti.

(Shape into a mound on a large flat dish or into a wreath.)
