8 uova                              8 eggs
3 onze di olio                     3 oz. oil
10 once di zucchero           10 oz. sugar
2 bustine di lievito              2 pkg of yeast
farina quando ne prende     flour as needed
8 onze di latte caldo            8 oz warm milk
Oil for frying
Honey 
Candy Sprinkles

Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar and allow it to activate until creamy.  Make a well with flour and add in all the other ingredients. Work well and add flour as needed until it forms a stiff dough. 

Cut dough in strips and roll out.

Form ladders. (My mom uses the end of a wooden spoon). She wraps the dough around it a few times, then forms a circle and slides them off. She uses a bit of egg to pinch the ends closed and puts them on clean towels (lint free) to rise.

Allow to rise two or more hours. (My grandmother actually used to let them rise overnight but my mother says she doesn't have the time for that anymore).

Fry them in hot oil until light golden brown. Remove from oil and put on a plate. *

*Note: You could eat them just like this if you wanted.

Melt honey with a bit of water in a large pan until it foams. This helps from burning the honey and lets the honey stick better. Coat the cookies in the honey using a large wooden spoon , remove, place on large plate and sprinkle with candies
