Struffoli (Neapolitan Honey Fried Dough)

Method 4 steps

1. 1

   Combine eggs, oil, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar, and sherry. Mix in enough flour to make a dough. The dough should be somewhat sticky but still workable.

2. 2

   Shape dough into small balls, about ½ inch in diameter.

3. 3

   Heat the shortening or oil to 350–375°F. Deep fry the dough balls until golden brown and cooked through.

4. 4

   Mix all the glaze ingredients over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Dip each fritter into the glaze, and remove.
