6
Combine the olive oil and pine nuts in a small saute pan over medium heat and toast until the pine nuts are just golden brown, about 2 minutes.
7
Remove the pine nuts to a paper-towel-lined plate to get rid of excess oil.

Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, combine the honey, orange zest and 1/4 cup water.

In batches, fry the struffoli in the hot oil until golden brown and puffed on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
