Ingrediënten

4 eggs

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructies

Gather all ingredients.

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

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

Roll dough into small balls.

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.

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.

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.

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

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