A typical Italian Carnival dessert: the Mardi Gras fritters recipe

This traditional Italian dessert is simple and tasty, perfect to be served on Novacart golden cardboard trays.

Ingredients:

  • 11 oz white flour
  • 2 oz white sugar
  • 1 oz unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking yeast
  • 2 tbs Italian grappa or schnapps
  • 1 orange peel
  • Vegetable cooking oil

Preparation:

  • Sift the flour in a big bowl, then add the yeast.
  • Add the softened butter, eggs, sugar, orange peel and grappa in the mixture.
  • Mix until you obtain a smooth dough.
  • Seal the bowl with saran wrap and let the dough rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Once the dough has cooled down, take it and spread it on the table with some flour; you can choose to spread it with a rolling pin or with a dough sheeter. The dough sheets must be very thin
  • With the help of a toothed wheel, cut the dough in big, rectangular squares, all of the same size.
  • In a large and short pan, heat up the vegetable cooking oil and then fry the fritters up until they become golden.
  • Put the Mardi Gras fritters on a paper towel, and when they’ve cooled down, serve them sprinkled with powdered sugar.
