Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 250 g honey
- 100 g sugar
- 70 g butter
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- tangerine
- Orange
- peanut oil
- sugar sprinkles
- Grand Marnier
- salt
For the Neapolitan struffoli recipe, mix the flour with the sugar, the softened butter into small pieces, the eggs, the yolks, the grated rind of half an orange and a mandarin, a pinch of salt and a sprinkling of Grand Marnier.
Work the mixture until you get a smooth dough; cover it and let it rest for 2 hours. Take the dough again, remove small portions and form loaves of about 7-8 mm in diameter; cut them into small dumplings, round them making them roll between your hands, then fry them in the hot oil, a few at a time, until they are golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Heat the honey in a large saucepan and, when it is liquefied, immerse the struffoli and mix them until they are well covered. Remove them from the honey and place them on a serving plate. Decorate them with sugar sprinkles.
