Preparation

How to prepare the gluten-free chiacchiere recipe

1

Break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar , lemon zest (or vanilla if you prefer) and soft butter .

2

Also add the water and grappa (or Marsala) and start mixing, then add the flour and yeast . Knead first with a fork and then by hand on a pastry board to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Let it rest covered in cling film for at least half an hour.

3

Divide the dough into 3-4 parts and, with the help of the pasta machine, roll them out one by one until they reach the thinnest thickness. Then use a serrated pasta cutter to create the chiacchiere by cutting rectangles and also making a cut in the centre.

4

Heat the seed oil in a pan until it reaches 170°C then fry the chiacchiere little by little until they are golden and crispy.

5

Drain them as soon as they are ready with a slotted spoon and pass them on absorbent paper before serving, finishing with a sprinkling of icing sugar .
