Work until you get a soft dough, cut sticks the size of a pencil. Cut pieces of dough about two inches small. Move the pieces of dough on a rough surface (grate or basket) sp that you will be able to creat small dumplings with small cavities. Fry them in plenty of olive oil.

In a saucepan put 3 tablespoons of honey and a teaspoon of sugar, let it melt over low heat. Pour a handful of purceddhuzzi and mix thoroughly with the honey. When the surface of each purceddhuzzo will be covered with a thin layer of honey, remove it and continue the operation until all purceddhuzzi will be covered with honey. Place on a plate and decorate with pine nuts and crashed cinnamon.
