Ingredients:
2 eggs
30 g butter (slightly melted)
5 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon brandy or rum
200 g of flour (soft wheat type from 400 to 550) and later about 30 g for stretching.
a pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar if you want them to be very sweet
frying oil
powdered sugar for sprinkling
Preparation
Knead a soft dough by mixing 200 g of soft wheat flour, 2 eggs, 30 g of butter that should be soft, 5 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of rum or brandy and a pinch of salt.
If you want to get very sweet crostuli, add 2 more spoons of sugar to the dough. I didn’t add it because in my opinion powdered sugar gives enough sweetness.
If you don’t want to put alcohol you don’t have to use it.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a bag and leave in the fridge for at least half an hour.
After half an hour, roll out the dough to a very thin, approximately 1 mm thick. If you leave the dough thicker then it will be harder and drier.
If you stretch it so thin, then it will be very easy to create crunchiness and you will get fine bubbles on the dough.
Cut the dough as in the video or to the size of your choice.
Fry the the dough in the oil that you heated to about 160 degrees C for about 3 minutes.
Transfer the fried pastry over the kitchen paper and sprinkle richly with powdered sugar.
Chiacchiere is a classic dessert made during the carnival, although in Italy you can find them on offer throughout the year.
It is made in various ways, some like them thicker and some thinner, some add orange or lemon zest, vanilla and other spices and this time I made them quite ordinary just to show you some basic recipe.
I like it so thin, crunchy and with these nice bubbles.
Enjoy this recipe!
