Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 6 extra large eggs
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp sugar
- Honey
- 1 shot Whiskey
- Instructions:
- Form a well with flour - keep a little extra in reserve

- Mix wet ingredients and slowly incorporate flour until a soft manageable dough is formed
- Roll dough into a long rope, about 3/4" in diameter
- Cut and form into 3/4" balls
- Deep fry dough balls at 375 degrees F
- In a separate heavy pan, bring honey to a boil
