Looks great
My nana always included anise in the batter
It's nice
Christmas in March!! My mother made these when I was a kid. Christmas wasn't the same without them. I made them for my wife and I but she only ate a tiny few, looking out for her sweets intake…. I ended up downing the bulk. The are adorable!
My mother from Abruzzo made this every year (yumm!) but in that region we call it Cicherchiata.
Nice, aka Teiglach
I have never made or eaten these, so this is a question for those that have. Would a veggie chopper, that has the removable die cut work ; If you cut the main dough into 10 pieces instead of 6? The die cut chops into 36 pieces at a time.
Sounds a lot like chak-chak.
Geez this brought back soo much! Every year (and I'm going back to the 50's) we made this a week before Christmas and we made a lot! The next day i would go with my Father and take them around to family and friends through out North Jersey. One of my most cherished memories. Thanks.
Make them for Christmas n Easter every year
Great recipe ! Thanks
"The orange will add a citrus flavor, and the nuts will add a nutty flavor!" Cmon, work on the writing.
I’ve always wanted to make this. Your instructions make it look easy. Not intimidating as others I’ve seen. I just may try this one. Thanks ATK✌🏼🙂😋
grew up with this, one of my favorite
I need her to stop putting the accent on the wrong syllable. STROOOO-ffoli, please! Also, Juila is always saying "prozhutto" and it's not supposed to be voiced. But while they need to work on their Italian I do love this channel!
Looks like gulab jamun! Thank you Marco Polo 🙂
"What happens if I don't get it perfectly?"
You ruined Christmas Bridget and it's the end of the world! THE VERY END BRIDGET!!!
ATK has a pretty good hair stylist – I notice the coifs every episode. Food's good too. 😉
STREWF-foa-lee.
Any way to make this gluten free?
Wow se ve increíble, una pregunta se pudiera hacer salado ?
Use cornflakes instead of almonds if you have a nut allergy.
High level donut there!
Thank you!
I feel like it would be easier to do 4"x4" squares and cut them into eighths in both directions, is there a reason for the more fussy measurements?
Awesome 🇮🇹
I made this every year with my mom. FYI….we added a little cinnamon to the honey.
Thanks for the time saver! I've been making these for decades, since I was old enough to see over the kitchen counter. I used to joke with my mom that the only reason she had kids was to have help with rolling out the struffoli. 😉 It's not Christmas without them though!
I always made this at Christmas and Easter but never made a wreath😅 kids would eat to fast.
This is a Christmas staple on our table. I remember making these with my great-grandmother. Love adding the nuts & fruit. Will try this variation for Easter.
Never saw almonds used before but I absolutely love Struffoli!!!
LOOKS YUMMY!!!!
