Directions:
1. Melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Mix together in a large bowl 2½ cups of the flour. Add sugar, baking powder, lemon rind and salt. Make a depression in the middle. Drop into it the eggs and the melted butter or margarine. Mix with a wooden spoon and then with the hands until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Add remaining ½ cup of flour as needed. Knead dough on floured surface until it isn't sticky anymore.

2. Break off pieces of dough and roll into ropes about the size of a pencil Cut into pieces ¼ inch long. Roll these pieces into little balls and set aside.

3. In deep frying pan, heat oil about 2 inches deep. Fry balls until golden brown. Drain on Paper towels.

4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring 1½ cups of pure honey and sugar to a boil. Let honey boil gently for about 3 minutes before adding little dough balls, stirring gently with wooden spoon until they are well-coated.

5. Remove balls from honey with a slotted spoon and place in a mound on a platter. Sprinkle surface evenly with nuts (if using- I don't) and multicolored sprinkles. Cool.
