ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus There's this Italian thing that we call Pignolata, but it's also known as Struffoli---tiny balls of fried dough, supercrispy, held together with honey syrup that has orange zest in it. The wild one hadn't made it for a year or two before her death, but her sister in law still does, and hers is the BEST! I might go over this year and help her... it is a CHORE because the oil has to be cold when you put the dough in, so there have to be multiple frying pans so you can keep frying. Man, I love that stuff. Mmmm...I love struffoli! One of my aunts passed me my great-grandmother's recipe. I've been wanting to try it out, but it calls for five pounds of flour, and everyone swears you can't cut the recipe. Just the thought of frying all that dough has made it too daunting for me. One of these days...
