Fried honey balls, or precipizi, are a classic Italian Chanukah dish. This dessert is made of a dough that consists of egg, sugar, flour and rum or rum extract (or apple juice). The dough is rolled into a rope, cut into small pieces, fried, and then dipped in honey. The final products are dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Makes approximately 6 dozen
2 cups Mishpacha Flour
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
3 tablespoons rum (can substitute with Kedem Apple or orange juice)
zest of 1 lemon
vegetable oil for frying
Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar, for sprinkling
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and lemon zest. Mix until well-combined.
Divide dough in four parts. Roll out one part of dough to form a rope. Break off hazelnut-sized pieces and roll into tiny balls.
Heat oil in a pan on medium-high. Drop balls in hot oil and cook around 20 to 30 seconds until light golden brown. Flip over and cook the other side, around 15 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel-lined dish to absorb extra oil.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Heat honey in a pan on the lowest flame. Add all the cooked balls of dough. Toss in pan to coat completely with the honey.
Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
