Calculation basis
Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.
Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured. Varying only the listed quantity assumptions gives 550–665 kcal per unit stated above. This is neither a measured range nor a statistical confidence interval.

Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 4 eggs
- 50g butter
- 40g sugar
- 1 lemon
- 300 g honey
- 500 ml frying oil
Instructions
- Knead flour, eggs, soft butter, sugar and finely grated lemon peel into a smooth dough; Let rest covered for 30 minutes.
- Form thin rolls about 1 cm in diameter and cut off small pieces. Too many large pieces would remain raw inside.
- Heat oil to around 170°C. Fry pieces of dough in small batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes; Remove and drain well.
- Just heat the honey in a large pot. Toss the slightly cooled struffoli in it and arrange on a plate to form a wreath.
Tips
- Small pieces cook evenly; large pieces can remain raw inside.
- Nicolaus says: "The messy kitchen does the tasting. Generously."
