Struffoli is a fried dough of eggs and flour. Forming a fountain with flour, add all ingredients and work until flour is absorbed.

Divide the dough into equal parts and roll out one piece at a time with hands forming a sort of snake -shaped homogeneous (it is 1/ 2 cm in diameter). Cut with a knife or with a plastic spatula into small pieces 1/2 inches in length and sprinkle lightly with flour. Do this until you finish the dough.
