Prepare the ingredients. Start by placing the flour on your work surface.

Make a well in the center and add the salt and sugar.

Add the butter, flavorings, and eggs. Begin to mix the dough.

Gather the flour and knead, then add the anise liqueur.

Knead until you have a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Then cut the dough into pieces and roll into ropes.

Cut the ropes into small pieces using a bench scraper and dust with flour.

To prevent sticking, heat high-oleic sunflower oil in a frying pan. Place the struffoli in a sieve to remove excess flour, and when the oil is hot, they’re ready to fry.

Add the struffoli to the oil, cover, and fry for 3 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.

After frying, heat the honey with the flavorings in a pan until it boils. Turn off the heat, add the struffoli, and mix well. Transfer to a serving plate or into muffin liners for mini portions.
