       Title: STRUFFOLI (Honey Balls)
  Categories: Desserts, Italian, Holiday, Cookies
       Yield: 1 servings
  
       3    Large eggs
       1 tb Butter; softened
       1 ts Sugar; plus
     1/2 c  Sugar
       2 c  All-purpose flour
     1/2 ts Baking powder
       1 c  Honey
            Vegetable oil; for deep-fryi
            Colored sprinkles
  
   Whisk together:  eggs, butter, 1 tsp sugar until foamy. Add baking
   powder; add flour.  Work the mixture into a soft dough with your
   hands. Divide dough into 4 pieces.  On a floured surface, roll each
   piece into a rope about the width of your index finger and 12 inches
   long. Cut the ropes into 1″ pieces.  Toss the pieces with enough
   flour to dust them lightly and shake off excess flour. Heat oil to
   375F in a deep fryer. Fry the struffoli a few handfuls at a time
   until they puff up and are golden brown. Using a slotted spoon,
   transfer to a paper towel to drain. Combine the honey and the 1/2
   cups sugar in a large saucepan over low heat; stirring until the
   sugar has dissolved; keep warm over low heat. Add the fried balls, a
   few at a time, and turn them with a wooden spoon to coat on all
   sides. Transfer the balls to a large platter and mound them into a
   pyramid, shaping with wet hands. Sprinkle with the colored sprinkles
   and let stand for 1 to 2 hours.  Then just break off some pieces with
   your hands to eat.
