Start by mixing flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Add eggs, orange zest, and orange juice to the mixture.

Mix until combined using a tabletop mixer with a dough hook.

Knead the dough briefly until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough using a pasta dough maker or rolling pin until very thin.

Cut the dough into strips for frying.

Heat canola oil in a deep pan until it reaches 360-375°F.

Fry the dough strips until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the honey syrup by boiling sugar and water until dissolved, then add Greek honey and orange juice.

Dip the fried dough in the honey syrup and serve.
