Categories     Bread, Cookies & Pastries

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs
1/4 cup (2 oz) sugar
1/4 cup (2 oz) Scotch whisky (or any similar, clear liquor)
1/4 tsp salt
2 3/4 cups (12 oz) flour
powdered (confectioner's) sugar for dusting
oil, such as sunflower or grapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Using a stand mixer, place eggs, sugar, salt, and whisky in a large bowl and mix for two minutes or so (if making by hand, combine the ingredients, and stir well with a wooden spoon.)
  • Add one cup (in UK, just use a regular cup-no need to measure) of flour and mix well.
  • Add the remaining flour and mix until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  • With hands, shape dough into a ball and refrigerate, covered, for about an hour.
  • Remove from fridge and cut dough in half and roll out one piece very thinly, on floured workspace.
  • Dough will be elastic, but re-roll it if it gets too thick. Using a knife or cutter to cut into strips. Use a pasta rolling machine if you have one.
  • Cut a strip: no size is right or wrong, but about 6 or 7 inches is a good size. Make a little cut towards one end. Now place the opposite end through that slit, and pull through to make a ribbon shape. Repeat, until all of dough is used.
  • Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pot or deep fryer (I use a wok) until hot. Before dropping the pastry in the oil, pull and stretch each one, so that it is thinner (as they shrink after being shaped) then begin frying the pastries until puffed and light brown on each side.
  • Remove with strainer and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  • When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar (or decorate with icing, or honey.)

CENCI--ITALIAN BOW TIES



Cenci--Italian Bow Ties image

Florentine Love Knot Cookies :There are many regional variations of these sweet fried confections. The best-known Carnival pastries are Cenci (the word means rags), whose many aliases include Frappe, Chiacchere (gossips), Lattughe (lettuce leaves) and Nastrini (ribbons), while they are also called the more poetic "Lover's Knots." They are very pretty when carefully made.. To make a batch you'll need:

Categories     Healthy

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Make a fairly stiff dough with these ingredients, kneading it thoroughly, and adding more flour if it comes out too soft. Flour it and let it rest, covered, for about an hour.
  • Then roll it out into an eighth-of-an-inch-thick sheet, and use a serrated pastry wheel to cut it into strips 4 inches long and two and one half inches wide. Make a cut down the middle of each cencio (so as to obtain two strips joined at the ends), twist the side strips without breaking them,
  • Fry them in hot oil or lard, and dust them with confectioners sugar when they're cool. This recipe is sufficient to make a platterful. Should the dough have formed a crust while it sat, knead it again before you roll it out.
  • My Mom also drizzles honey before the confectioners sugar.

ITALIAN CENCI COOKIES



Italian Cenci Cookies image

My mother brought this special family recipe from Europe a century ago. Cenci can be "dressed up" for any holiday-at Easter, I sprinkle yellow, pink and lavender jelly beans over them, and for Christmas, red and green candy sprinkles give the cenci a festive look. Even without the garnish, they always disappear fast! -Anna Coduto, Fullerton, California
