This delicious dessert consists of small fried balls of dough, blended with honey and shaped into a beautiful wreath. Follow our step-by-step recipe to create this mouthwatering treat.

Ingredients:

  • 500g of flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 200g of honey
  • 100g of sugar
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.

Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3: Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into thin ropes. Cut the ropes into small pieces, about the size of a hazelnut. Repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 4: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dough balls in small batches until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Step 5: In a separate saucepan, heat the honey and sugar until they melt together, creating a sticky syrup-like consistency. Add the fried dough balls to the pan and mix gently until all the balls are coated with the syrup.

Step 6: Using a lightly greased round baking pan or a similar mold, shape the coated balls into a wreath. Allow it to cool and set for at least 1 hour.

Step 7: Optional: Decorate the cicerchiata with colorful sprinkles for an extra touch of festive joy.
