Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

400 g (3 cups) of flour
3 medium eggs
80 g (1/3 cup) of unsalted butter
40 g (2 3/4 tablespoons) of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of aniseed liquor
zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder or baking soda (optional)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
600 ml (2 1/2 cups) of seed oil for frying
250 g (3/4 cup) of Wildflower or Acacia honey
Rainbow Sprinkle Toppings
Candied fruit

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a double boiler and let it cool. In a large bowl, mix together the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  • Add sugar, melted butter, the liquor, eggs and the orange zest. Mix the ingredients with the help of a wooden spoon.
  • Continue to knead with your hands, until you get a homogeneous dough, free of lumps. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • After the resting time, cut the dough into equal parts. With your flat hands, roll each piece on the work surface as if to make a cylinder about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) thick.
  • Slice the roll of dough with the help of a small knife into many pieces of 1 cm (1/2 inch) in size. You can leave your Sruffoli in small pieces or give them the shape of balls by rolling them between the palms of your hands.
  • Fry Struffoli few at a time turning them a couple of times. In 30-40 seconds they will be ready. Drain them with a skimmer and place on a serving dish, covered with absorbent kitchen paper.
  • In a saucepan that can contain all the struffoli, pour almost all the honey and some rainbow sprinkles. Heat over very low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. This step is to make the honey more liquid and more malleable.
  • Turn off the heat and add the struffoli. Add one more tablespoon of sprinkles and mix all together. When all the Struffoli are wrapped in honey and sprinkles, immediately transfer them, still hot, to a serving dish.
  • Give them the shape you prefer, for example the classic pyramid or the classic donut shape that resembles a Christmas wreath!

NEAPOLITAN STRUFFOLI



Neapolitan Struffoli image

Struffoli is a Neapolitan dessert that is traditionally prepared at Christmas and made of tiny dough balls that have been deep-fried and soaked in honey, then piled high on plates and trays. Some like to form them in the shape of Christmas trees or wreaths, always festively covered with multi-colored candy sprinkles. People who grew up with this traditional Christmas treat go out of their way to make sure there is a struffoli on the holiday table.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®)
1 lemon, zested
½ orange, zested
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 jumbo eggs
½ cup cane sugar
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Time 15m

Yield 3-4 waffles, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 egg, whites separated from the yolk
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pandan extract

Steps:

  • Turn on your waffle iron.
  • In one bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, melted butter, egg yolk, and pandan extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently stir it inches Switch to a folding motion towards the end to incorporate all the flour. The batter will be a little lumpy and thick, but the important thing is not to overmix it.
  • Whisk the egg white until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white into the batter.
  • Now here comes the easy part. When the iron is hot, ladle some of the pandan waffle batter onto the grid. Close the lid and go get a plate and a fork. Breathe in that wonderful pandan aroma (but be careful not to stick your nose into the steam rising from the waffle maker!) Tell your tummy to stop growling already, because in a couple of minutes it's going to be mighty happy.
  • When the waffle maker signals that your pandan waffle is ready, lift it out with a fork onto your waiting plate. Put the fork down. Resist the urge to pick up the waffle and jam it into your mouth. Wait for it to cool a little. If you don't, you'll give yourself first-degree burns on your fingertips and that little piece of skin on the roof of your mouth will hang down and bother you for the next two days. Resist!
  • Go back to step 4 and prep another waffle. There, that ought to be enough time now. Go for it. Forget the fork. Forget syrup. Just pick it up and devour to your heart's content.
