2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 lg. egg
1/2 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 c. honey
1 tbsp. multicolored nonpareils

In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In small bowl, using wire whisk or fork, beat egg, milk, butter and vanilla to blend well; stir into flour mixture to make smooth, soft, pliable dough. Roll dough by tablespoonfuls into 6 inch long ropes; cut each rope into 1/4 inch pieces. In 12 inch skillet over medium heat, heat oil to 375 degrees. Add half of dough pieces; cook about 1 minute, stirring carefully but constantly until pieces are puffed and golden. Using slotted skimmer or spoon, remove fried dough balls to paper towels to drain. Repeat procedure with remaining dough pieces, first allowing oil to return to 375 degrees. While second batch of balls drains, in 3 quart saucepan over medium high heat, bring honey to boil; remove from heat. Stir in all fried dough balls to coat thoroughly. Spoon honey coated dough balls onto large serving platter. With hands lightly oiled to prevent sticking, arrange balls in cone shape. Sprinkle with nonpareils. Makes 8 servings.
