Light, bubbly and uncontrollably addictive – gluten free carnival goers are going to love this version of the Italian mardi gras classic.

It’s impossible to spend carnival season in Italy without seeing and tasting these melt-in-the-mouth morsels of sweet and crispy fried pastry. Local versions of these aromatic and sugary treats are eaten throughout the country during the month of mardi gras. But whether you call them chiacchiere, galani, frappe, bugie or crostoli, there is one thing we can all agree on: they are absolutely delicious. And now wheat free revellers can experience the full tastes of Italian carnival too, with this authentic gluten free chiacchiere recipe.

Preparation

in 45 minutes

First, place the liquid ingredients in a food mixer, then add the remaining ingredients.
Knead the dough slowly until all the ingredients are mixed. Continue to knead on Level 2 until the dough is consistent (total kneading time approx. 3 - 4 minutes).
Separate the dough into two halves and roll each half into a ball.
Wrap the first ball in cling film (the dough dries out quickly). Roll out the second ball into a very thin sheet (max. 2 mm) and cut into strips (5 cm x 3 cm).
Deep fry the dough strips in hot oil (approx. 1.5 minutes per side) but make sure you don’t let the dough strips turn too dark!
Remove the dough strips from the oil and place on a kitchen towel to drain.
Once the dough strips have drained, dust with icing sugar and serve.
