Ingredients




300 grams flour
2 eggs
100 grams sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
powdered sugar
oil, for frying

Preparation

1 Add oil and sugar to the eggs after they’ve been beaten. Add Flour.  Stir well in order to thoroughly mix the ingredients; work the dough until it becomes very soft and smooth. Roll it out so that the dough is a few millimeters thick. 2 With a pastry wheel, cut the dough into long, narrow rectangles. Heat the oil in a frying pan and when it’s hot, add the rectangles of dough. 3 When they puff up and become golden brown, drain them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Finally, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and enjoy!
