Italian Struffoli (Christmas Cookies!)

•** For the dough **
•3 1/3 cups flour
•4 eggs
•1 teaspoon grain alcohol
•A chunk of butter the size of a small walnut
•1 tablespoon sugar
•1 pinch salt
•1 pot full of olive oil for frying

•** For the seasoning (for lack of a better term) **
•3/4 pound honey
•3/4 cup sugar
•Colored Sprinkles

The recipe:
Combine the ingredients for the dough to make a workable dough, knead it well, and let it sit for at least an hour, covered. Pluck off piece and roll them out under your fingers to form snakes about as thin as your pinkie, and cut them into quarter-inch long pieces. Fry the pieces a few at a time in hot oil until brown, and drain them on absorbent paper. Should the oil start to froth after a bit, and the froth overflow the pot, change the oil.

Put cooked struffoli into a large bowl (preferrably one with a lid) pour in honey and sprinkles, and mix. (The lid comes in handy here and makes for more even spreading of honey) open and enjoy!
