Steps:
- In a large ceramic bowl with a wooden spoon or in a mixer with a dough hook mix together the flour, eggs and salt to make a stiff dough that pulls away from the walls of the bowl. You may end up using your hands to finish the job if mixing with a wooden spoon. If the dough is still sticky to the touch add more flour. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and doesn't stick to your fingers. . Quarter the dough and roll the segments into ropes the thickness of 1/2-inch. Cut off knobs of dough 1/2-inch long (some people roll these into balls but I don't).
- In a 3 quart saucepan heat oil for deep-frying to 365 degrees F. Fry the dough pieces until golden brown in batches, a handful at a time and drain on a paper towel. The dough will sink in the oil then come floating to the top. They do expand in the oil so leave them some room. Allow them to cool while you make the caramel.
- In a large saucepan combine the honey and sugar and bring to a boil. Working quickly with a wooden spoon stir in the fried dough pieces to coat them with the honey caramel. Quickly spoon the sticky dough balls onto 2 plates and form into a tall mound resembling a pine cone, then quickly sprinkle pine nuts or confetti sprinkles over the surface so they stick to the honey caramel before it cools and is no longer sticky. If there's a second person around to help with this, get them. It's a bit of a group or family project. You can also place smaller amounts into foil cup cake cups for individual servings. Let cool and serve. Keeps up to 1 week. To eat just pick off dough pieces and enjoy.
- Notes about the recipe: Some spell it Pinolata with one T. It sometimes has pine nuts or "pignolla" stirred into the caramel or is formed into the shape like a pine cone so the name may have come from that. In Sicily they're called Pignolata, in Naples (Italy, not Florida) the same thing is called Struffoli.
- I first had this at the holidays at an Italian friends house and they make them every year. But because they're fried they fit for Hanukah too. They're something you serve after a meal and really need coffee to wash them down. It's a very tactile dessert that you pick apart tiny caramelized nugget by tiny caramelized nugget.
PINULADA (HONEY BALLS)
These will be an adorable addition to your dessert tray this Christmas. The inside of the honey balls stay soft and the outside gets a bit crisp. The honey sauce is where all the flavor comes from. The colored sprinkles add crunch and make these a festive dessert. We've seen these called Struffoli too and are a great little bite...

Steps:

- Gradually add flour and baking powder.
- *Using your hands, mix and knead the mixture well, forming a dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth.
- (*A Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook may be used for mixing/kneading the dough).
- Form dough into a ball.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and divide dough into 8 to 10 smaller balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a"rope" about a 1/2 inch wide, and 10 inches long.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each rope into 1/3 inch pieces.
- (Optional, pieces may be rolled into balls about the size of marbles).
- Dust cut pieces with a bit of flour.
- Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fat fryer to a temperature of 375°F.
- Shake off excess flour, and fry the bits of dough (in small batches) until puffy and golden brown.
- DO NOT crowd the frying pan or fryer.
- Remove each batch of balls with a slotted spoon and place on heavy brown paper (or paper towels) to drain.
- Continue frying until all the balls have been fried.
- Place drained, fried balls into a large mixing bowl (or disposable roasting pan).
- Pour the honey into a large frying pan, and heat until bubbly, remove from heat.
- (Honey may be thinned with 2 to 3 Tablespoons of water to make a less sticky/sweet coating).
- Stir in grated orange peel (if desired) and pour honey mixture over the fried dough balls.
- With a wooden spoon, gently stir and toss the balls until all are evenly coated with honey.
- Using hands (or a spoon), place honey coated balls on to a large plate (or pie tin), mounding them into a cone/pyramid shape.
- Sprinkle with colored sprinkles.
- NOTE: If struffoli are too sticky to handle while shaping, slightly wet hands with cold water to help keep them from sticking to your hands while shaping.
