INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 🧂 ¼ cup white sugar
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • Frying

    • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

  • Glaze and Decoration

    • 🍯 ½ cup honey, or more to taste
    • 🧂 ½ cup white sugar, or more to taste

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Beat eggs, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; stir in baking powder.

3

Slowly stir flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into egg mixture until a soft dough forms.

4

Roll dough into small balls.

5

Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or until you see little waves on the bottom of the saucepan.

6

Working in small batches, fry dough balls in hot oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer struffoli to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

7

Heat honey in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly mix 1/2 cup sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, into honey until sugar is melted and glaze is smooth, about 5 minutes.

8

Transfer struffoli to a large bowl and pour glaze on top; toss quickly to evenly coat before glaze hardens.

9

Arrange struffoli into a tower shape or Christmas tree shape on a serving plate. Sprinkle nonpareil sprinkles over struffoli.
