Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.


Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.

1tablespoonbutter, softened
1teaspoonsugar AND 1/2 c sugar
2cupflour, all-purpose
1/2teaspoonbaking powder
1cuphoney
1vegetable oil
1colored sprinkles

Directions:

Whisk together eggs, butter, 1 tsp sugar until foamy. Add baking powder. Add flour. Work the mixture into a soft dough with your hands. Divide dough into 4 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a rope about the width of your index finger and 12 inches long. Cut the ropes into 1 inch pieces. Toss the pieces with enough flour to dust them lightly and shake off excess flour. Heat oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer. Fry the struffoli a few handfuls at a time until they puff up and are golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel to drain.

Combine the honey and the 1/2 cups sugar in a large saucepan over low heat. Stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Keep warm over low heat. Add the fried balls, a few at a time, and turn them with a wooden spoon to coat on all sides. Transfer the balls to a large platter and mound them into a pyramid, shaping with wet hands. Sprinkle with the colored sprinkles and let stand for 1 to 2 hours. Then just break off some pieces with your hands to eat.
