Simple Zeppole

Pour the flour all at once into the boiling water with a pinch of salt and mix until smooth

Then place it on the work surface you have just oiled and work it further, beating it with a rolling pin until the dough becomes fairly elastic

Then separate it into balls and, with the palm of your hand, shape them into sticks as thick as the little finger

With these, folding them over themselves and crossing them, make elongated little rings

Then fry these little zeppole in plenty of oil over moderate heat until they turn golden; occasionally prick them with a fork

Lift them out and let them drain on paper

Meanwhile put the honey and sugar in a saucepan with a little water and combine these ingredients until they become syrupy: add cinnamon and vanilla

Keeping the heat very low, dip the zeppole in the syrup and sprinkle them with diavolilli

Pile them on a plate, arranging them in a dome, and pour over any remaining honey
