The dough is soft like shortcrust pastry but not sticky, don’t add too much flour otherwise, the struffoli will become hard.
Then take the dough, divide it into smaller balls, make little logs, and cut them into many small pieces.
Fry in plenty of oil, the time for light browning, just a few seconds, drain them and place them on a plate with absorbent paper.
Then melt the honey in a small pan on the stove with the sugar.
Place the Neapolitan struffoli on the serving plate, sprinkle with honey and sprinkles and/or candied fruits.
