This is a Christmas staple on our table. I remember making these with my great-grandmother. Love adding the nuts & fruit. Will try this variation for Easter.
Christmas in March!! My mother made these when I was a kid. Christmas wasn't the same without them. I made them for my wife and I but she only ate a tiny few, looking out for her sweets intake.... I ended up downing the bulk. The are adorable!
Thanks for the time saver! I've been making these for decades, since I was old enough to see over the kitchen counter. I used to joke with my mom that the only reason she had kids was to have help with rolling out the struffoli. 😉 It's not Christmas without them though!
Geez this brought back soo much! Every year (and I'm going back to the 50's) we made this a week before Christmas and we made a lot! The next day i would go with my Father and take them around to family and friends through out North Jersey. One of my most cherished memories. Thanks.
Struffoli is a recipe from from antiquity, the Greeks who settled in Naples and most of southern Italy, Magna Grecia. They were great bakers. The Greeks taught us how to make twice baked bread, Dakos, Paximadia, that I still make today. I was born in Agropoli, south of Naples. It our tradition to make struffoli every Christmas. I made them this morning.😊 Merry Christmas Carmela
You folks with Italian heritage are so lucky, my mom wasn’t Italian and she also could barely cook. Italian dishes are among my faves, and it’s easy to convert a lot of it to vegetarian!
LOL! I have an old Far Side cartoon by Larsen on my fridge. It’s a scene of a kitchen that’s experienced an explosion, with an unconscious female cook on the floor, and nearby is her cookbook ”Recipes for Disaster.”
When I made them as presents, I molded them individually in mini Bundt pans that have been greased with butter. It would probably work just the same with cupcake pans, though I’d think about using lubricated muffin paper cups.
It doesn’t seem like having a donut. It’s like the crunchy hollow ends on a funnel cake, but sticky like a sticky bun. The fun eating experience is similar picking at a bowl of peanuts.
What’s not been said here is that the honey acts as a preservative, so the dish can be kept for days and days over the holidays, often popped out when company comes, then tucked away again until the next gathering.
I have never made or eaten these, so this is a question for those that have. Would a veggie chopper, that has the removable die cut work ; If you cut the main dough into 10 pieces instead of 6? The die cut chops into 36 pieces at a time.
I need her to stop putting the accent on the wrong syllable. STROOOO-ffoli, please! Also, Juila is always saying "prozhutto" and it's not supposed to be voiced. But while they need to work on their Italian I do love this channel!
They also call a single tamal a tamale when it’s singular tamal, plural tamales, and they mispronounce the plural. And I wrote to them about their taste map of the tongue, which was very wrong right from the start when it was created back then, and I even shared the history of how that dubious tongue map came about. They make mistakes, they’re human. The lesson is to take away is to take anything any authority says with a grain of salt, and when you’re cooking, make it your own way.
This approach is “okay” -recommend to check out the Struffoli (pronounced StrooTfoli) on the Giallo Zafferano channel for an authentic Italian approach (channel has English subtitles)

Your family must be from Campania region of Italy.
Never saw almonds used before but I absolutely love Struffoli!!!

My mother from Abruzzo made this every year (yumm!) but in that region we call it Cicherchiata.

Great recipe ! Thanks
grew up with this, one of my favorite
I’ve always wanted to make this. Your instructions make it look easy. Not intimidating as others I’ve seen. I just may try this one. Thanks ATK✌🏼🙂😋
Looks great
😋❤ ottima ricetta complimenti 😋❤
LOOKS YUMMY!!!!
My mom used to make this for Christmas. It is delicious!
Make them for Christmas n Easter every year
Awesome 🇮🇹
ATK has a pretty good hair stylist - I notice the coifs every episode. Food's good too. ;-)
Thank you!

You ruined Christmas Bridget and it's the end of the world! THE VERY END BRIDGET!!!

My nana always included anise in the batter
I made this every year with my mom. FYI….we added a little cinnamon to the honey.

High level donut there!

Wow se ve increíble, una pregunta se pudiera hacer salado ?
Makes me think about my Nonna. You can make this with store bought Gnocchi.
It's nice
I feel like it would be easier to do 4"x4" squares and cut them into eighths in both directions, is there a reason for the more fussy measurements?
Yes, I think it's easier to split things in half than in thirds.
A bench scraper is 6", so it makes it an easy measurement.
STREWF-foa-lee.
I always made this at Christmas and Easter but never made a wreath😅 kids would eat to fast.
Looks like gulab jamun! Thank you Marco Polo :)
It may look like it but it definitely has no similarity to taste with both finished receipes

Nice, aka Teiglach
Teiglach has lots more eggs and no honey dressing.
Any way to make this gluten free?
no

No sugar in your honey?
Tagloch!
@@ezsyt Why the abbreviation?
Because those who "vyst" vyst! 😉

Sounds a lot like chak-chak.
Use cornflakes instead of almonds if you have a nut allergy.
Disgusting
No. Why? Just use nonpareils. Almonds aren’t even traditional.
@@WinstonSmithGPTYou sound like your mother on your birthday when she had her first look.
Good tip👍🏼
@@WinstonSmithGPT I agree Winston but I would’ve been more tactful! LOL!
"The orange will add a citrus flavor, and the nuts will add a nutty flavor!" Cmon, work on the writing.
Same here she is NOT PRONOUNCING the name correct
Over and over again!
Driving me crazy!!!
