Toss the pieces with enough flor to dust them lightly, and shake off the exces flour.

In a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375 . Fry the struffoli a few handfulls at atime, until puffed up and golden brown.

Tranfer with a slotted spoon to brown paper to drain.

In a large saucepan, combine the honey and the 1/2 cup sugar and heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved,Keep warm over low heat.

Add the fried balls a little at a time, and turn them to coat all sides.
