Chiacchiere di Carnevale (sweet Carnival fritters)

Level: Easy

Preparation time: 20 min

Preparation

Create a work surface and dust it with flour;
Create the classic fountain by pouring the sifted flour, the eggs and the butter inside it;
Begin to knead the dough with your hands;
Add the lemon zest, a little rum and the white wine;
Knead with your hands for about 5 minutes, giving the dough the shape of a well-rounded ball;
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, trying to make a rectangle as well as you can;
Place it on a round cutting board and cut out many (not too small) rectangles, which will then be fried in boiling oil;
Fry the “chiacchiere” in plenty of hot oil (using a wooden toothpick. They will be ready when bubbles have formed on the surface);
Drain them from the oil when they are well browned on both sides and leave to rest on absorbent paper;
Cover with icing sugar and serve accompanied by Cremadelizia Biscokrok Babbi
