In a large bowl, blend the flour,sugar,and baking powder. Mix butter with a fork, then blend in the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time. The batter should be thick at this point. Knead the mix for about 5 minutes, until smooth, using floured hands when the dough gets sticky. Place the dough on floured surface and form into large ball. Lightly dust dough with flour, cover with a clean cloth, and let sit for about 1/2 hour. Divide the large ball into 2 smaller balls. Roll each dough ball into 1/2 -inch rolls. Cut each roll into 1/2 -inch round pieces. In a deep skillet, heat enough oil for frying. Drop the balls (about 10-12 at a time) into the oil, and fry until light & golden (seconds). Drain thoroughly on paper towels. While struffoli is still warm, place in large mixing bowl. Heat honey in a small saucepan and drizzle it over the struffoli stirring gently. Make sure all the struffoli is lightly coated with the honey. While still warm, pile struffoli high in a mound on a platter. Sprinkle with confetti.
