Cooking Class

Struffoli, a classic Christmas Italian dessert from the area of Naples, is made of deep-fried little balls of fragrant dough, that are then coated in honey, sprinkles, and candied fruit. When still warm and sticky, they are shaped into a pyramid or wreath.  

All skills are welcomed, we will guide you through the steps, and will have fun along the way. 

We will need more or less 1 hour and 30 minutes. These are the steps:

  • first, we are going to make the dough by hand using a scale to measure the ingredients, different sizes of bowls, and a spatula or a wooden spoon. If everybody wants, we can use a food processor;
  • secondly, after the dough has rested for 20-30 minutes, we are going to cut little "nuggets of dough";
  • thirdly, we are going to deep-fry the dough balls;
  • lastly, we are going to coat the dough balls in honey, sprinkles, and candied fruit (optional) and arrange them in a pyramid or wreath shape.

 Ingredients

  • 400 g all-purpose flour or flour type 00
  • 3 eggs
  • 80 g butter, melted and cooled
  • 40 g granulated or cane sugar
  • 2 Tbsp liquor (limoncello, or anise, or orange liquor)
  • 1 orange, the zest
  • 1 lemon, the zest
  • 1 leveled tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • about 600–700 ml peanut oil (or any other vegetable oil) for frying

Decoration:

  • 250–300 g acacia honey or any light-colored liquid honey
  • sprinkles
  • candied fruits (or candied cherries)
  • shaved almonds (optional)
