Crostoli

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour

• 1/2 egg yolk

• 1 egg

• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

• lemon zest of 1/2 lemon

• 1/4 cup dry Marsala wine

• pinch of baking powder

• 1/2 tsp. Vanilla

• 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar

• oil to fry

Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl.
Once the dough takes a form, knead it well for a few minutes.
Roll it out a bit at a time until it is about as thin as you can get it. Use a little flour if it is too sticky.
Cut the dough with a pasta cutter in parallelogram shaped pieces (), cutting a slice or two in the middle of each piece.
Heat the oil for frying, a big pan is better with at least 2 to 3 inches of oil.
Add the Crostoli a few at a time.
Turn them quickly as they only take a few seconds per side. They should be light golden brown, but not too brown.
Place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Dust them with powder sugar and serve.
