Method
Beat the eggs with 1 tsp of sugar and the salt and pour in the water. Gradually add the flour and knead a firm dough that can be rolled out. Leave for 20–30 minutes.
Roll out the dough to 3–5 mm thick, cut into strips 0.5 cm wide, then into sticks 3–4 cm long.
Heat the oil in a kazan or deep frying pan. Fry the sticks in small batches for 3–4 minutes until golden and transfer to a paper towel.
Cover the remaining sugar with water and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until the syrup starts to string from the spoon.
Add the honey to the syrup and heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring.
Mix the fried dough with the hot syrup, pile onto a platter with oiled hands and leave for 1–2 hours to set.
