This is probably one of the oldest dessert called "frictilia" during the roma empire. Nowaday is the most popular dessert for Carnival. | | Ingredients | | 1 1/2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 oz lard (you can use butter , but it's not the same)
1Tbsp granulated_sugar
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 cup white wine
pinch of salt
Confectioners_sugar
Oil for frying | | Directions | | Step: 1 | Make a well in the flour, add the eggs, the lard, and a little bit of the wine, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Start kneading, adding the rest of the wine , until you get a smooth dough. If it is too dry, add more wine. Let sit for an hour, wrapped in a kitchen cloth, in a dry cool place. On a floured surface ,roll the dough into a thin layer, (1/10") with a rolling pin. With a pasry wheel, cut into stripes about 1" wide and 4" long. You can also make different shape like S, even make a tie, just follow your fantasy. Fry in batches, a few at a time, in plenty of oil, until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper toweling and sprinkle with confectioners sugar. You can serve them hot or at room temperature. They last for a couple of days if stored in a paper bag,(an airtight container would be best) but i'm sure there won't be any leftovers to save when served to your guests... |
