Carnival Roses

Method

1. To prepare Carnival Roses (a traditional Italian carnival pastry), mix the flour with egg, sugar, butter, white wine, and vanilla flavoring until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
2. After the resting time, roll out your dough into a thin sheet (ideally 4mm thick) using a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
3. Once the dough is rolled out, get three round cookie cutters of different sizes (small, medium, and large). If you don’t have cookie cutters, you can use cups or glasses of different sizes.
4. Cut three circles from your dough in the three different sizes: 1 large, 1 medium, and 1 small. Once cut, stack them on top of each other and make six light cuts that will form your petals during cooking.
5. Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a small saucepan, and when it’s boiling, deep-fry one rose at a time (use a wooden spoon to hold it down at the bottom to ensure it puffs up properly). Let it golden brown without burning and drain.
6. Let the excess oil drain from your roses, then let them cool and garnish with jam in the center. If desired, dust with powdered sugar and serve. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
