Steps:
- Mix flour, eggs, butter, sugar, egg yolk, lemon zest, rum extract, and salt together in a large bowl to create a soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand for 30 minutes.
- Roll dough into a thin log the width of your pinky finger, about 1/4 inch. Cut log into small pieces; roll into balls. Dust with flour to prevent from sticking.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Place a few balls of dough in a sieve to shake off excess flour. Cook in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining balls of dough.
- Pour honey into a saucepan over low heat. Cook until a small amount of honey dropped into cold water forms a soft ball. Add fried balls of dough to the hot honey; stir gently with a wooden spoon until coated.
- Rinse a serving plate and shake off the water. Pile dough balls onto the serving plate in the shape of a dome or ring using damp hands or a damp wooden spoon. Garnish with sugar sprinkles. Let cool completely.

- Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Add sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, salt, and 2 cups of the flour and stir until combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Generously flour a work surface and turn out dough onto it. Knead in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, until the dough forms a smooth ball and is only very mildly sticky. If it's too sticky to handle, add additional flour 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut dough into 20 equally-sized sections. Roll each section into a long, thin cylinder about 1/2"-thick, and slice them into approximately 1/2"-wide pieces. Add dough balls to a flour-covered plate, sprinkling them with and shaking them in the flour to coat the surface. This is so the dough balls don't stick together.
- Add oil to a saucepan with tall sides (with about a 3-quart capacity) and place over medium heat on the stovetop. Once oil reaches 375°F, add about one-sixth of the dough balls and allow them to fry for a few minutes, until they turn golden to lightly golden-brown. Remove the struffoli from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

- Mix the ingredients together until it starts to come together then knead into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- Once rested, cut the dough in half then cut each half into 3 equal pieces. One at a time roll each piece of dough into a long sausage shape about 1cm (1/2 inch) thick. Cut each log into small pieces roughly 1cm (1/2 inch) in size (just like making gnocchi but much smaller).
- Roll each cut piece of dough into balls using the palms of your hands and place on a board or surface lightly dusted with flour so they don’t stick. Make sure they are in a single layer and not on top of each other.
