Honey Glazed Italian Donuts
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1/2 cup honey, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup white sugar, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rainbow nonpareil sprinkles, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine eggs, white sugar, and vegetable oil in a bowl and whisk until well blended; add vanilla extract and mix further.
2
Add baking powder to the mixture and stir until it is fully incorporated; then gradually add flour, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.
3
Divide the dough into small portions and shape each portion into a ball.
4
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or when you notice tiny ripples on the bottom of the pan.
5
Fry dough balls in batches, working quickly to prevent them from sticking together; cook until lightly browned, taking about 2-3 minutes per batch.
6
Transfer the fried dough balls to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon.
7
Melt honey in a saucepan over low heat; then gradually add sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
8
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
9
Dip each fried dough ball into the warm honey glaze, coating it evenly; then place the coated struffoli on a serving plate.
10
Toss the struffoli gently to ensure they are evenly coated with glaze before it hardens.
11
Arrange the struffoli into a tower or Christmas tree shape on the serving plate and sprinkle nonpareil sprinkles over the top.
