1. 1

   Beat the eggs with the vodka in a small bowl.

   Mound the flour on a work surface and make a well in the middle. Pour in the egg mixture gradually, working it into a stiff dough.

3. 3

   Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a bowl and rest 15 min.

4. 4

   Cut off a piece of dough and keep the rest covered. Roll it very thin, about 1-2 mm (1/16 in), and leave it on a towel for 5 min to dry slightly.

5. 5

   Cut the sheet into strips about 5 cm (2 in) wide, stack them and slice crosswise into thin strips about 5 mm (1/4 in) wide. Repeat with the remaining dough.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot to 175 °C (350 °F).

   Fry the strips in small handfuls, stirring, until pale golden, 1-2 min. Lift out onto paper towels to drain and cool.

8. 8

   In a clean wide pot, bring the honey and sugar to a boil. Simmer for 3 min, until slightly thickened and glossy.

9. 9

   Put the fried strips and the walnuts in a large bowl. Pour the hot honey mixture over and toss with two spoons until every piece is coated.
