Preparation Sieve the flour and put it on a board. Make a hole in the middle and put the wine, egg, butter, sugar, the lemon and orange peel and the salt.
Knead well and then roll out sticks from the dough the size of a pencil. Cut these into pieces and put a few of them at a time into hot but not boiling oil. As soon as the pieces have become golden brown, drain them and let them cool.
In a saucepan, heat the honey and the sugar and when they are a nice golden brown, add the almonds and the fried balls. Cover them with the honey then place them on a greased dish.
