Category: Desserts
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 200g |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Fine salt | 1 pinch |
| Orange zest | 1 |
| Powdered sugar | 50g |
| Vegetable oil (for frying) | as needed |
| Powdered sugar (for dusting) | as needed |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Add the eggs, a pinch of fine salt, and the orange zest. Mix the ingredients together until the dough starts to come together.
-
Knead the Dough: Once the mixture becomes more compact, transfer it to a flat surface and briefly knead the dough until smooth.
-
Roll Out the Dough: After kneading, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin sheet, approximately 1-2 mm in thickness.
-
Rest the Dough: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape (10-11 cm in diameter), then let it rest in a cool place for 30 minutes to relax and firm up.
-
Cut the Tagliatelle: After the resting period, take the rolled dough and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick to create your tagliatelle.
-
Fry the Tagliatelle: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to around 170°C (338°F). Fry the tagliatelle in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature. Fry each batch until golden and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve: While the tagliatelle is still warm, dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy these festive sweet treats!
Tips for Success:
- Be sure to fry the tagliatelle in small batches to maintain the oil temperature at around 170°C.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar depending on your sweetness preference.
These Carnival Sweet Tagliatelle are a perfect indulgence for special occasions like Carnival, bringing joy and a bit of sweetness to your festivities. Enjoy this delightful treat with a cup of tea or coffee!
