Pastercia Fiorentina

"This is a recipe similar to one I remember my Grandmother making when I was a child. However, I don't recall her adding rum to hers. A friends Mom would drizzle them with honey rather than the confectionery sugar.....also quite delicious. Serving size is approximate as I have no idea how many this recipe makes, nor how many you would eat at one sitting. I could eat several. Prep time includes the 1 hour refrigeration."
