Description

Fried castagnole are a carnival classic, a simple and delicious dessert that brings joy! This recipe is perfect for preparing soft and light castagnole, ideal to be enjoyed with a sprinkling of granulated sugar. The preparation is quick and easy, especially with the help of the Thermomix. I always prepare them for the joy of the whole family, and they disappear in the blink of an eye! Try them too, they are irresistible! A tip: for an extra touch, add a little grated orange zest to the dough.

Resting the dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface, form a loaf and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

5

Forming the castagnole

After resting, take the dough again and roll it into a 3-4 cm thick loaf. Cut the loaf into pieces and make a ball from each piece.

6

Frying the castagnole

Heat plenty of peanut seed oil in a pan suitable for frying and, when it has reached the temperature, dip the castagnole in it, a few at a time, making sure they have room to float in the oil.

7

Drain and sugar

When the castagnole are golden brown on the entire surface, drain them with a slotted spoon and place them on a sheet of absorbent paper, so that they lose excess oil. Roll the castagnole in 100g of granulated sugar that you have placed in a bowl, and serve still hot, lukewarm or at room temperature.
