How to Make STRUFFOLI Like an Italian (Italian Christmas Honey Balls)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Struffoli, also known as Honey Balls (and many other dialect names!) are the perfect sweet treat to serve at Christmas.
The intriguing part about struffoli is that everyone has a unique recipe and often the secrets to getting them just right are kept close by Nonna. This struffoli recipe pairs the perfect citrus flavors of orange and lemon with the sweetness of honey to bring a pop of freshness to your Christmas dessert!

One small bit of advice is that I've found, instead of putting them in the oil one at a time, if you load them all on a big slotted spoon or one of those stainless steel Asian strainers and dump them all in big portions, they will all separate and still fry nicely without risking burning yourself. Amazing recepie though...can't wait to try it!
Ciao Vincenzo, you made tear up. The whole family would get together every December to help my mama make what she called Honey Rings! She would form a"ring" around a decorative Christmas plate and fill the center with all her cookies topped with powdered sugar. The bigger the ring the more important you were in her life! We averaged 50 to 60 rings every Christmas, even mailed some! Beautiful!! Buon Natale!

Ciao da Oregon, Vincenzo! My heart leapt out of my chest when I saw the photo in my KZread feed. My sister and I were just talking about how every Christmas our nonna would make something that looks very much like this. But we knew it as “pignalatta.” I don’t even know if I am spelling it correctly. Have you ever heard of that name? Even though there were no pinenuts in the recipe, she shaped it like a pine tree and I am certain that’s where the name comes from.

@@vincenzosplate My cousin found our Nonna’s recipe! My sister says the pignolata is formed into the shape of pine cones, hence the name. We will make it with the honey from my honeybees in honor of our grandmother and as a salute to Vincenzo‘s Plate. Think of your KZread channel as a true ministry of the heart, giving the gift of our culture to the entire world! But not only that, perhaps more important is the fact that you transfuse renewed cultural blood into those of us who no longer live in Italy or Sicily. Where did I learn how to make the Pasta alla norma, bucatini con le sarde e arancini? One place: Vincenzo’s Plate.
my mother used to make it at Christmas time. She used to make them as thin bows.. no lemoncello. She never gave me the recipe so I never made it, myself. She used her hands. She came from Agropoli Italy in 1920 and for some reason never wrote her recipes down so I would watch her and try to memorize her amounts and processes... failed with Struffoli, though. Couldn't even remember the name for the longest time.
I'm going to try making this. Thanks!

@@vincenzosplate Yes, when I was a child, my Nanna would make it. I’d watch her do it, but she never shared the recipe, and with all the dialects in the family, I didn’t know it’s name. I’m in my sixties, and wanted to make it, but the recipe was long lost to life. Besides, I always thought there was chickpeas in it, and that cloudy remembrance made it hard to find the recipe. Thank you for bringing it back to me. I will make it for Valentine’s Day. Christmas desserts are already accounted for 😃. I will also look into making your Nonna’s limoncello. I have lemons to use up. Thank you for sharing our culture.

Struffoli are good, but Salento purciddhuzzi are better. No eggs, and the flour is mixed with olive oil, mandarin juice and anise liqueur, and flavored with lemon peel. You will find many recipes online because, practically, every family has their own. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone
