1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 lg. eggs
2 egg yolks
Vegetable oil
1/2 c. honey
Confetti (tiny candy dots, optional)

Put flour on a pastry board, make a wide well in the center of it; mix baking powder, eggs, and egg yolks into flour. Continue mixing until you have a solid mass. Then knead dough with your hands until it has a firm and smooth consistency.

Separate the dough into 3 portions and with a rolling pin, roll the first portion out to about a 1/8 thickness. Sprinkle flour over sparingly to keep dough from sticking. Then with a pastry wheel, make 1 inch strips, fold into bows, or your favorite shape. I leave them in strips. Drop into 2 inches of vegetable oil at medium heat. If the dough comes to the top quickly, the oil is hot enough. When shapes are golden brown, take them out and drain on paper towel. Heat honey over low heat in a saucepan, then dribble it over the strips or shapes (Crispelle). You can also use sifted confectioners' sugar instead of honey or I make half of each. It's not Christmas without Crispelles.
