- 2 1/2 c flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 c shortening
- 1/2T sugar
- 1T baking powder
- dash salt
- 1/2 t. lemon zest
- 2 C vegetable oil for frying
- 1 1/2 C honey
- 1t orange zest
- colored non-pareils
Directions
- Place flour on board, making a well in the center.
- Place eggs, egg yolk, shortening, sugar, salt and lemon peel into the well.
- Mix well, working the dough with your hands.
- Shape into very small balls, the size of marbles.
- Let the dough balls rest about 15-20 minutes, covered with damp paper towels, while you heat the oil in a deep stock pot.
- Drop the balls, a few at a time into the hot oil (350 degrees) until golden brown.
- They'll float, just turn them around a bit for even browning.
- Melt honey in a saucepan and add orange zest.
- As soon as the balls are fried, take them from the oil directly to the honey pot.
- Let them float around in there for about 30 seconds.
- Lift them out of the honey with a slotted spoon, placing them on a serving platter, piling them into a conical shape.
- Sprinkle with non-pareils while the honey is still warm.

I have a similar recipe except for a few ingredients...and I make mine into thin strips instead of balls! This is good stuff! During the holidays I eat these by the bowl full!

My great-grandmother used to make this. She would mix in a little bit of shaved chocolate, and maybe some nuts, put it in a bowl, let it set, then invert it onto a pretty plate. Then a little more chocolate was sprinkled on top along with the non-pareils. Extra supreme yumminess!
