Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest.

Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a thin rope.

Cut the ropes into small pieces, about 1 inch long.

Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

In a separate pot, heat honey and cinnamon until bubbling.

Add the fried dough to the honey and stir to coat evenly.

Transfer to a serving platter and decorate with sprinkles and candied fruit.

Let cool slightly before serving.
