Postupak
Korak po korak
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and salt.
Oko 2 min
- 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, egg yolk, and melted unsalted butter.
Oko 1 min
- 3
Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Oko 2 min
- 4
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Oko 10 min
Napomena kuhara: The dough should not be sticky. Add a tiny bit more flour if needed.
- 5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Oko 30 min
Napomena kuhara: Resting helps relax the gluten, making the dough easier to roll.
- 6
Divide the rested dough into 6-8 equal pieces.
Oko 2 min
- 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a long, thin rope, about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) in diameter.
Oko 5 min
- 8
Cut the ropes into small pieces, about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) in length. These are your struffoli.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Aim for uniform size for even cooking.
- 9
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven to 175°C (350°F).
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
- 10
Fry the struffoli in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Oko 10 min
Napomena kuhara: Frying too many at once will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy struffoli.
- 11
Remove fried struffoli with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Oko 2 min
- 12
In a separate large pot or wide pan, gently warm the honey and orange zest over low heat until the honey is fluid.
Oko 3 min
Napomena kuhara: Do not boil the honey; just warm it enough to make it pourable.
- 13
Add the fried struffoli to the warm honey mixture and toss gently to coat them completely.
Oko 2 min
- 14
Transfer the honey-coated struffoli to a serving platter and arrange them into a festive mound or ring shape.
Oko 2 min
- 15
Decorate immediately with rainbow sprinkles before the honey sets.
