Mix all the ingredients by hand or with a stand mixer until you have a smooth, firm dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.

After resting, cut the dough into small pieces to form little dumplings.

Deep-fry the pieces in a large pot with vegetable oil until golden brown.

Drain well and let cool on paper towels.

Once cooled, melt the honey in a pan and add the fried dough pieces, stirring to coat them evenly.

Arrange the struffoli on a serving plate or in small paper cups and decorate with colored sprinkles and candied orange peel as desired.
