TARDILLA 
12 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
7 c. flour
1 lb. jar honey

Beat eggs with the salt; then add soda and flour, a cup at a time. Mix with spoon at first, then use hands; add more flour if dough is too soft. Roll a little piece at a time into a long rope. Cut into 1/4 inch pieces which look like large beads and spread these on floured board or cookie sheets until ready to fry.

Fry in deep fat, a little at a time, and drain in colander. Heat honey in large pan, about 10 minutes. Add part of the little fried beads and mix until all is coated, about 10 minutes. Spoon on buttered bread board and pat with wet hands so little beads will stick together.

Repeat the same with 1/2 remaining. Put in refrigerator or cool place for about 3 hours or overnight. Then cut in squares or rectangles. Can be formed into a wreath and sprinkled with colored candies.
