4 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey, such as clover
1 1/22 tablespoons pure almond extract, to taste
56 tablespoons orange flower water, to taste
Nonmelting icing sugar or powdered sugar
Pastry bag fitted with a #4 plain tip
Heavy-duty, deep saucepan filled halfway with vegetable oil

1
Heat the oil to 375 degrees.
2
Over a large mixing bowl, sift to combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3
Make a large well in the center and pour in the eggs, buttermilk, honey, almond extract, and orange flower water.
4
Whisk together the liquid ingredients and slowly draw in the dry ingredients.
5
The mixture should be fairly smooth before you draw in more flour.
6
Fill the pastry bag half full and pipe the batter directly into the hot oil, making random, 3-inch-long squiggles.
7
After youve piped a few, wait until they have risen back to the surface before you pipe more, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
8
Pile onto a platter and sift nonmelting icing sugar or powdered sugar over the top.
