Pignoccata

Pignoccata is a traditional Sicilian dessert made from fried dough balls coated in a sweet syrup.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and wine. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a marble.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Fry the dough balls until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
In a separate pot, combine the honey, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the fried dough balls to the honey syrup and stir until they are well coated.
Remove the pignoccata from the heat and let it cool before serving.
