Struffoli

Almost the Last of the New Yarn

I’ve been wanting to make a pie because I still have a pie crust in the freezer from Thanksgiving. If I hurry up and use it, I’ll have to make another pie crust for Christmas and since the recipe makes two, that means we get four pies instead of just two! ๐Ÿ™‚

Vince loves fried bread dough and Struffoli is basically fried dough rolled in honey, cinnamon and sugar so I figured that was easier and less time consuming than the pie. I made the Struffoli yesterday and will make the pie today.

Every time I do something on the countertop, I’m so thankful that I no longer have that horrible, uneven tile countertop that was here the first couple of years we lived here.

Can you see how uneven that tile was? Can you imagine rolling dough “snakes” like I did this afternoon, or cookie dough or bread dough? Even using a thick plastic pastry sheet, the countertop was so uneven, it was hard. Really, every time I have to roll something out, I tell Vince “Thank you for agreeing to replace those countertops!”

The Stuffoli is made. Vince is a happy husband! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’ve never understood why anyone would put in those tile kitchen countertops. To me they look like a cleaning nightmare as well as uneven to work on. Even my cheap formica is better.

    My first husband’s mom would make this, also a “ricotta pie” that was made using wheat berries. She was Italian, 1st generation born in America. I haven’t had them since the early ’80s and have nearly forgotten what either taste like, but remember especially loving the pie.

    They’re so pretty! Do they taste as good as they look?
