Ingredients
8 servings
- •4 eggs
- •2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- •16 ounces honey
- •0.5 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
- •4 tablespoons chopped semisweet chocolate
- •0.5 cup blanched slivered almonds
- •1 (1.75 ounce) package multicolored sprinkles (jimmies)
- •1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- •0.33333334326744 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Place eggs in bowl and beat until they have tripled in volume. Add flour gradually until well blended (do not use all the flour). The dough should remain slightly sticky.
- Transfer to floured board. Cut off a piece at a time. Using a little flour, if needed, roll between your hands to form pencil shapes.
- Cut into 1/4 inch pieces. Place each on floured cloth. In a large pan on top of the stove, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry pieces about 1/2 cup at a time, turning constantly until golden. Drain and set aside. (Note: after several batches, dough begins to turn brown quickly. This means it is time to change the oil)
- In large pan, bring honey to boil with vanilla bean. Discard bean. Place deep-fried pieces into hot honey and toss until all are coated. Cool and stir in chocolate, nuts, and multi-colored jimmies. Place on plate, shaping firmly into tall cone. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
