#1:

3 lg. eggs
1 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. flour

#2:

3 c. sifted flour
4 eggs, beaten
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. shortening, butter
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. lemon rind or 1 tsp. vanilla

FOR BOTH:

8 oz. honey
Corn oil for frying
Candy sprinkles
Toasted almonds or pine nuts

In a large bowl beat eggs well. Add butter, sugar and vanilla or lemon rind and mix well. Combine flour, salt, baking powder and add to egg mix gradually. When well blended, turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Take a small amount of dough at a time. Roll into a long rope, maybe about the size of a ball point pen or a little larger. Cut into small pieces, about 1/3 inch. Toss in a very small amount of flour so pieces don't stick. Be sure to shake off excess flour before frying, since the flour will make the oil foam over. Heat oil in a deep pan. If you have a wire basket, place in oil. Add a few pieces at a time and when brown remove to absorbent paper to drain. When all done, prepare honey mix. Heat honey in a large pan over very low flame. Add the cooked balls and nuts and mix until all are coated with honey. Transfer to a large platter while still a little warm. If desired form into a cone shape, not too big and sprinkle with candy.
