Ingredients

  • 1 whole Lemon Zest
  • 3 whole Oranges, Zest And Juice, Divided Use
  • 1 whole Mandarin Orange, Zest
  • 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1-1/2 cup Semolina Flour
  • 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-7/8 ounces, weight Olive Oil For The Dough
  • 1/2 cups White Dry Wine
  • 9 Tablespoons Honey
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 cups Oil (to Fry)
  • Optional Garnish: Almonds, Pine Nuts, Colored Sugar, Etc

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel the lemon, oranges and mandarin. In a skillet start heating 2 cups of oil with all of the fruit zest.
  2. 2
    Squeeze the oranges and reserve the juice.
  3. 3
    Mix together flours, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, oil, and wine. Slowly pour in the orange juice. Mix together till you get a smooth and elastic dough. Knead the dough into long fingers and cut them into small pieces (as big as your pinkie nail).
  4. 4
    Fry them in the hot oil till golden brown. Once they are browned, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain in a paper towel lined bowl.
  5. 5
    In a pot pour honey and sugar (for every 3 spoons of honey add 1 of sugar), heat it up in the microwave till it melts then pour it over the fried purcedduzzi and mix them up. You want to use a big bowl or do this in several steps.
  6. 6
    Place them onto 6 small plates. Decorate as you like (almonds, pine nuts, color sugar flakes).
  7. 7
    I remember my grandma used to make bunches of Purcedduzzi and divided them into small plates, then she wrapped the plates in cute Christmas paper and gave them as presents to her friends and relatives.
