TURDIDI

Turdidi

1 ½ cups oil	8 to 9 cups flour
1 cup white (Muscatel) wine	2 eggs
½ cup water	Oil for deep-fat frying
¾ cup shortening	Honey

Boil oil, wine, shortening and water together. Set aside to cool. Add eggs to flour, then work in cooled liquid mixture with spoon. Add more flour if necessary. Knead a little until a formed ball. Shape by rolling piece of dough into a ½ inch in diameter and 1 inch pieces. Fry 10-15 minutes - until golden brown.

Set aside cookies to cool completely - I set aside for about 12 hours. In a saucepan, in a 1/2 cup increments, heat honey to a slow boil. Quickly add cookies, a few at a time, while stirring to completely coat. Place in a foil or metal open container for the honey to set and dry on the cookies.

Can be stored in foil lined container for several weeks.
