Pignolata(Honey Balls) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 c. flour
4 eggs
2 c. vegetable oil
dash of salt
1 1/2 c. honey

Preparation

Place flour in bowl; make well in center and crack eggs into flour.
Mix well working dough with hands until smooth.
Roll dough out to about 1/8-inch.
Cut the dough into long strips.
Cut the strips into 1-inch diagonal pieces.
Fry pieces of dough in vegetable oil.
Pieces should be placed one at a time so as not to stick to each other.
After all dough has been fried, it is time to cook them in honey.
Heat (low-medium) honey in saucepan until it starts to bubble.
Place fried dough into the honey and stir, coating all pieces (about 5 minutes).
Spoon into paper cupcake wrappers and let cool.
