Merry Christmas Eve to those who partake!
My family makes honey balls every year.
We call them gigis, short for gigidetta.
Most people seem to call them struffoli.
I've also heard the word binulata used for them. (To my family, binulata is bread with ground beef, olives, and onions)
If any of y'all are of Italian descent, can you tell me if you're northern or southern Italian (my family is sicilian, so southern), and what you call honey balls?
I've been trying to find anyone else who uses the name gigidetta for honey balls for years!
Are you of Italian descent? What do you call honey balls?
