Tortellacci fritti
from Italy
Ingredients:
Pastry Filling
Flour → 1 kg
Butter → g 150
Sugar → g 300
Eggs → 4
grated lemon rind (one lemon)
baking powder
Plum jam
Mostarda (Italian preserved fruit)
Another sour jam
Walnuts, nuts, pine nuts
There is not a specific amount for these ingredients, it is up to your taste!
(Alternatively you can fill them with jam, Nutella or custard only)
How to do:
Filling → Mix all the ingredients
Pastry → Mix butter with sugar and eggs, add greated lemon, floors and baking power.
Roll out the dough. With a glass shape the dough in circles. Put the filling in the middle of
the circles and close them in a half. Close the edge very carefully with a fork.
In a frying pan pour sufficient oil (you need to fully dip the Tortellacci). When the oil is hot
enough you can fry the tortellacci a few at a time and turn them until they are fried on
both sides.
Once fried, and still hot, sprinkle sugar on.
Buon appetito!!!
