Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2 tbsp Brandy
- 2 cups Honey
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Steps
- Knead the flour, eggs, butter, and brandy into a smooth, pliable dough; rest 30 minutes.
- Roll paper-thin and cut into long ribbons.
- Fry the ribbons in hot oil, folding them loosely as they crisp, 2 minutes until golden — diples means “folds.”
- Drain on a rack; they should shatter like glass.
- Warm the honey with cinnamon until fluid and pour generously over the fried ribbons.
- Shower with crushed walnuts while the honey is still tacky.
- Serve within hours; diples are Christmas and wedding food, made for celebration and eaten immediately.
