Ingredients

• 3 cups Flour
• 4 Eggs
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 2 tbsp Brandy
• 2 cups Honey
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Steps

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