Carnival is approaching so I decided to offer a recipe of my share of typical carnival, my grandmother always prepared for the pleasure of the whole family: the crackers!
The damselfish is a dish typical of Lazio, which is prepared during the Carnival, sweet fried balls covered with powdered sugar, or as I like it, honey! Few ingredients needed to prepare, according to the recipe of his grandmother.
Castagnole Recipe:
4 eggs;
4 tablespoons oil 4 tablespoons anisette
;
4 tablespoons sugar, lemon zest
;
1 packet of yeast;
a pinch of salt;
flour taste Oil for frying and powdered sugar, cinnamon and honey for garnish.
The process is simple to do good crackers. Beat the eggs into a bowl, add in order Mistrà or rum if you prefer, oil, sugar and lemon zest and then the yeast with a pinch of salt. You knead adding flour a little at a time until the dough is soft and not too hard, then creating the balls are not very big, say the size of a chestnut, just the "crackers". At this point, heats the oil for frying, you put the crackers in hot oil, which swell and become brown in color, indicating that the damselfish sono pronte. Una volta scolate su carta assorbente, si guarniscono con dello zucchero a velo e cannella in polvere, oppure come preferisco io, con del miele e via, a mangiare le castagnole!
