INGREDIENTS:

• 240 g. of ‘0’ flour
• 20 g of butter
• 20 g. of icing sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon Grappa
• 1 pinch salt

PREPARATION

Knead all the ingredients well, pay attention to the softness of the butter.

Once the dough is formed, cover with a piece of plastic wrap and let it rest for about ten minutes at room temperature.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and thin

With a fluted pastry wheel, cut into rectangles (or whatever size you want); make a slit (or two) down the middle.

Gently drop each piece of dough in the hot oil at the temperature of 150-160 ° C

Dust with icing sugar just before serving.

Now “carinval fritters” are ready to be served
