By hand make a well with the flour, salt & baking powder; put eggs in the middle, & mix with your fingers a little
Add vanilla & knead the dough well
Heat honey & orange rind in a pot-just a little-do not boil-let it cool down awhile
Make ropes out of the dough, about 1/4" thick & cut into 1/4" pieces
Deep fry until golden brown (or in about 2" of oil in fry pan)
Drain in a brown paper bag, put in large pot or bowl & add honey-mix a few times then put in a platter & sprinkle with sprinkles as much as you like
Notes:
oil should be hot - test one piece-if it comes to the top right away-the temp. is good-when a nice color turn over with a slotted spoon -lower oil if temp. gets too hot
I make 4x's this amount but knead one batch at a time to get a nice dough
