Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 lemon, zested
- 300 g plain flour
- 200 g honey
- 200 g toasted almonds, cut in half
Instructions
Place the flour on a table as if you were making pasta.
Mix the eggs, sugar, oil and lemon zest together.
Add the flour and make a dough.
Cut the dough into strips and then roll into long sausage shapes, about 1 cm thick. Cut the dough into small "gnocchi" squares and then roll into small balls.
Fry the balls in hot oil, drain and allow to cool.
Heat the honey in a large pan, until it cooks and the colour turns to rose.
Add the almonds and pastry balls. Mix for 2 minutes and add some extra lemon zest.
Set into small mounds and serve.
