Crostoli/ Angel Wings recipe. How do you call thes

Crostoli/ Angel Wings recipe. How do you call these amazing Italian Pastry?

Did you know that in Italy I used to eat them just for Carnevale in February?
When I moved here 19 years ago I was surprised to see Crostoli or Chiacchere at all the Italians Party.
My mother in law and her friends used to make hundreds of these also before Christmas ❤️
Christmas, bridal shower, baby shower, friends get together, Christmas party these pastry are perfect for any occasion.
I still remember when I used to live in Italy and I was waiting for Carnevale/ Carnival to eat Crostoli not knowing how they were made. I had no idea that they were fried and here I’m years later sharing my family recipe with the world.
Life is beautiful and full of surprises 😍🥰

Ingredients:
300 g flour
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Orange zest
2 tsp oil
2 tbsp Grappa or any liquor
1 and half tsp baking powder
A sprinkle of love
Lots of Icing sugar

To fry them:
1 liter of Sunflower oil or whichever you prefer

Method: watch the video.
Few important tips:
The amount of flour is aprox. While you knead the dough you will understand if you need more flour.
If the dough is too sticky need flour.
If it falls a part needs liquid so add another tsp oil or water.
Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling them with pasta machine.
The oil MUST be hot before you start frying. Temperature of oil should be 160 C.
Happy Cooking

Buttery Crispy Potatoes These potatoes were a hug

Buttery Crispy Potatoes
These potatoes were a huge success in my family.
They are very easy to make:
🥔 Wash and scrub the potatoes
🥔Boil them with the skin until the fork goes in. Be careful to not overcook them.
🥔Cut them in half
🥔In a stir fry pan put 1 tbsp oil+ 2 tbsp butter and 1 clove of garlic without skin and the soul
🥔Add Rosemary if you have it
🥔Put the potatoes in the pan with skin up.
🥔Pan fry them for 10 minutes
🥔Flip them and pan fry them for 4 minutes on other side

Serve them with a roast, chicken or anything that you like.
Very delicious 🤤
Buon Appetito

Thank you @giallozafferano for the recipe

Postcard from Italy: Padova ❤️ On our way to

Postcard from Italy: Padova ❤️
On our way to Verona we stopped in Padova to see the Piazza and to eat lunch in a bar where they make amazing tramezzini.
The tramezzini ( sandwiches) were so good that I’m still thinking about it.
The piazza was beautiful and it was the day of the Mercato.
Unfortunately the Mercato was closing because we got there at 12 pm and in Italy everything shut down for lunch at that time.
It was also so hot that we couldn’t breath but we managed to walk around the Piazza.
Sweet memories of our last summer vacation in Italy.
Have a fantastic Monday

🇮🇹Recipe Pistachio Panna Cotta/ Panna Cotta

🇮🇹Recipe Pistachio Panna Cotta/ Panna Cotta al Pistacchio 🇮🇹❤️

Panna Cotta is my favourite dessert, so light and fresh and few months ago I tried adding Pistachio cream and the results was amazing 🤗
My husband is a pistachio lover so this became his second favourite dessert, first is the pistachio tiramisu ❤️
This recipe is easy, I use gelatine sheets but you can try using the powder just check the quantity that you need for the amount of liquid.

Ingredients:

• 400 ml liquid cream
• 60 gr of sugar
• 40 gr of pistachio cream
• 6 gr gelatin sheets
• Pistachio grains
• 1 tsp of chocolate sauce
• A sprinkle of love

Method:

Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Put a pan on the stove on medium heat, pour the cream and add the sugar, mix with a hand whisk. When the sugar is incorporated, add the pistachio cream and bring to a light boil. Turn off the heat, squeeze the gelatin sheets and add it to the boiling cream, mix with a whisk and you will see that it melts in a few seconds. Pour the mixture into the special molds or nice glass and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. After that remove the cream from the molds and garnish with chopped pistachios and chocolate sauce.
Buon Appetito

Mamma Marzia’s Tip: DO NOT soak the gelatine sheets in warm water, it will disappear. Also You can use a Martini Glass to serve the Panna Cotta for a stenographic effect.
