Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch baking soda
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from 1/2 orange)
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons Sambuca
5 tablespoons sugar (plus more for coating)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole milk
Neutral oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, orange juice, lemon juice, Sambuca, sugar, vegetable oil, and milk in a large bowl until smooth.
  • In a small pot or cast-iron skillet, heat 2 1/2 inches of neutral oil to 350F over medium heat. Using a teaspoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop up a spoonful of batter, then carefully scrape it off with a second teaspoon into the hot oil.
  • Cook the castagnole in batches of four or five for about 4 minutes, until a deep golden brown. Halfway through cooking, they will turn themselves over in the oil. Take care not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Remove to a paper towel-lined tray or plate to drain, then roll them in sugar while they are still hot so that the sugar sticks.
  • Castagnole are best eaten the day they are prepared, but they will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.

  • In a large mixing bowl add the butter, sugar, and vanilla; mix together with a wooden. Stir in the milk. Add in the flour and mix all the ingredients together (including the lightly beaten eggs).
  • Dump the dough onto a lightly floured and clean surface and gently knead until combined, adding a spoonful of flour if needed if you find the dough is too sticky. When the dough is smooth, roll out portions a bit at a time into 1-inch thick logs and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover the remaining dough with a clean tea towel until you are ready to work with it.
  • Add the oil into your pan on medium high heat. When the oil is hot enough (temperature should be 350F), start adding about 8 dough balls at a time. Turn them around while frying so that all sides get color and that they aren’t raw in the middle. Remove the castagnole with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate.
