Original Recipe Yield 6 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups red wine
  • water
  • 12 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup honey, warmed slightly

Directions

  1. Warm the wine and oil over medium heat. Remove from heat and add 12 cups of flour. Stir in water, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together in a soft ball. Knead well.
  2. Roll the dough into a snake and cut into two inch pieces. Run each piece over a basket or use a fork to get ridges in the dough.
  3. Heat oil for frying in a large pot. Deep fry cookies until medium brown. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Warm honey in a frying pan until very liquid. Roll the cookies in the honey, and then place in a dish. Allow the honey to cool and serve.
