Steps

1

Make the dough by placing the flour in a mound on your work surface. Add the eggs, butter, sugar, orange and/or lemon extract, a little rum extract, some grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
2

Once the dough is formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
3

After resting, roll the dough into ropes and cut into small pieces, about the size of gnocchi.
4

Fry a few pieces at a time in plenty of hot oil until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5

While you finish frying all the struffoli, melt the honey in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler).
6

When all the struffoli are fried, add them to the bowl with the melted honey and gently mix to coat them well.
7

Arrange the struffoli on a serving plate in a mound. While the honey is still warm, sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles if desired. Let cool, then serve.
