Cenci

Cenci

This is one of those Tuscan typical sweets of this season. Try them, it's a "granny's recipe"!

Ingredients (For 6 people)
White flour: 300 g, Sugar: 50 g, 2 eggs, Butter: 30 g, Rum or brandy or vinsanto (sweet white raisin wine), Orange or lemon peel, Some salt, Vanilla sugar Seed, oil

Work flour and eggs, sugar, melted butter, liqueur, a teaspoon of orange or lemon peel and a pinch of salt into dough. Knead well, until you will get a smooth dough, make a ball of it and keep it one hour in a cool place, to let it leaven. Make a rather thin sheet of dough with the rolling pin and cut it in big slips, then in irregular pieces or in lozenges, as you prefer. So, fry them in a lot of hot oil. As they are ready put "cenci" on a sheet of paper and sprinkle icing or vanilla sugar on them.
