These cookies are very popular for the Christmas holidays in Nonna's house each year, although they would be great for any special
day.
6 Eggs
1 Cup Sugar
4 Cups All-purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Oil For Frying
For Topping:
A Mix Of Sugar And Cinnamon
OR Warm Honey And Candy Sprinkles
Put the flour into a mound on a clean counter or bread board. Make a well in the center, and put the sugar, eggs, vanilla,
baking powder and cinnamon into this well. Using a fork, begin to mix everything together by pulling the flour slowly into
the egg mixture. Once everything is well mixed, form the dough into rolls, about the width of your thumb. Cut each roll into
1 inch pieces. Fry the struffoli in oil heated to 375 degrees F. until golden and puffed. Drain on paper towels and top with your choice
of a cinnamon sugar mixture, or warm honey.
