Known also as Galani in Venice and Padua, these Homemade Crostoli are really easy to prepare and perfect for celebrating Carnival days to the fullest.We propose the traditional recipe that includes the use of white wine and grappa as liquid elements, but if you wish, you can replace the wine with a little milk, which you should add gradually while kneading until you achieve the perfect consistency.Ingredients for Serves 6500 gams of All Purpose Flour80 milliliters of White Wine50 gams of Butter Soft50 milliliters of Grappa25 gams of White Sugar2 Eggs1 packet of Vanilla1 LemonA pinch of Table Saltto taste of Powdered Sugarto taste of Peanut Seed OilCopy Ingredients ListOpen in AppMethodDownload our APP with exclusive content and LESS ADS! Click here and GET IT FREETo prepare Carnival Crostoli (Italian fried pastries), place flour, sugar, vanilla powder, grated lemon zest, a pinch of salt, softened butter cut into pieces, eggs, white wine, and grappa in a bowl. Knead everything using a stand mixer or by hand.When the dough appears smooth, soft, and elastic, form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.Once the dough has rested, take it out and tear off a piece. Slightly flatten it with your hands and then start working it through a pasta machine (pasta roller). Pass it through the rollers multiple times, reducing the thickness with each pass until you obtain a thin sheet.Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough into rectangles of approximately 4×2 inches (10×5 cm), then make a cut in the center of each rectangle, without reaching the edges. Place the rectangles on a floured work surface and continue with the same procedure until all the dough is used.Fry the rectangles in plenty of hot vegetable oil at 170°C (338°F) for perfect frying. Brown the Carnival Crostoli evenly, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar and your Carnival Crostoli are ready to be served and enjoyed. These sweet treats are traditionally served during the Italian Carnival season.

The thermal shock between the cold Carnival Crostoli and the hot oil will make them puff up and achieve a perfect golden color.StorageCarnival Crostoli can be stored in a paper bag for 2-3 days without any issues.Comments Cancel reply Leave a comment
