This is a recipe for struffoli so good you can even eat them without the honey!

1 lb. butter, clarified (melt butter 10 minutes on low heat, then pour only the clear part of the butter into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature)
12 large eggs
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 tbsp. vanilla extract
grated zest of an orange
unbleached flour (you'll use a few lbs. of flour)
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 gallon vegetable oil (for frying)
1 (32 oz.) jar honey
colored candy sprinkles

Whip eggs in a very large bowl; add sugar , vanilla and orange zest. Now you can blend in the clarified butter.

Start adding flour 2 cups at a time with the baking powder until you reach a consistency of playdough (you'll use a few lbs. of flour).

Roll ropes about 3/4-inch in diameter and cut into pieces about 3/4-inch long. Lay out your pieces on sheets of waxed paper.

Heat vegetable oil till one struffoli cooks to golden brown in about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add small batches and cook till golden.

Warm honey in a pot till just warm and pour over struffoli. Decorate on platters with colored candy sprinkles enjoy!

I know it's alot of work but with helping hands and Xmas music you can make it a family tradition like my family has for over 85 years.
