Mom's Strufoli

6 eggs
(Save one half of an egg shell for measuring later.)

Add 6-- 1/2 shells of corn oil
add 4-- 1/2 shells of water

5 cups of flour

Mix all of the above and bring together.
Knead well until the dough is smooth and firm enough to handle.
Let it rest for 20-30 minutes covered.

Meanwhile heat your oil to 350 degrees.

Roll your dough into long ropes.



Cut them into small pieces and put on a dish towel until you fry them.



Once they are all cut you can begin frying.
Fry them until they are a light golden color.



Remove from hot oil to a tray lined with paper towels to drain and cool.
Warm plenty of your favorite honey.

Once they are all fried and cooled transfer them to a large bowl.
Pour the heated hone all over the Strufoli and begin tossing with a large spoon. Continue this until all the little balls are completely covered in honey.

You can now arrange them on a dish or platter in whatever shape you like. Then sprinkle with your favorite jimmies.




Enjoy!
