Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding a high-proof alcohol to the dough helps it become crispier and puff up more when fried.
  • When frying, shake off any excess flour from the dough pieces to prevent the oil from getting dirty or burning.
  • When placing the honey-coated struffoli on a plate, lightly wet your hands to shape them without sticking, creating a beautiful mountain shape.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy sweet and crispy traditional Korean treats like yakgwa or gangjeong.
  • Those looking for a home-baking recipe to enjoy making round-shaped treats with kids.
  • Those who need an exotic dessert to beautifully decorate a Christmas or party table.
