Ingredients

  • 5cupsgluten-free all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®)
  • 1lemon, zested
  • ½orange, zested
  • 1tablespoonbaking powder
  • ½teaspoonsalt
  • ⅓cupextra-virgin olive oil
  • 6jumboeggs
  • ½cupcane sugar
  • 2quartsvegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1tablespoonvanilla extract
  • 2cupshoney
  • ¼cupmulti-colored sprinkles, or more to taste

  • Directions

    Combine flour, lemon zest, orange zest, baking powder, and salt together in a food processor; pulse to combine. Mix eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl; add 1/3 cup olive oil and vanilla extract and beat again. Mix together with flour mixture using hands to knead.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat frying oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), about 5 minutes.

    Transfer dough to a floured work surface; continue to knead sticky dough with floured hands. Flatten dough into a thin loaf about 10 inches long. Cut long ropes from the loaf, then slice ropes into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

    Fry dough pieces in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

    Heat honey in a saucepan until warm and fluid, about 1 minute. Pour hot honey over struffoli and toss to coat. Sprinkle with multi-colored sprinkles.



    Cook's Note:

    I used cage-free organic eggs, organic olive oil, organic cane sugar, and raw honey.


    We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
