Sweet streamers are fried carnaval sweets , delicious and delicious, inspired by the colorful streamlined stars, the typical carnival decorations!
Crunchy, fragrant and irresistible, we can do them at home in a short time and in a very simple way, with a quick dough and affordable for everyone. Also let us help children, who will have fun a world to give shape to these good and original sweets.
Sweet carnival ribbons Recipe
I made a very simple dough, a sort of pastry without yeast, flavored with an anise liqueur typical of my parts. But we will also do a bit of rum, grappa or any aromatic liqueur. Even a drop of wine or liqueur wine is not bad for us.
We will put all the ingredients in a bowl, we will mix and then add the flour a little at a time, continuing to work the dough on the floured work surface until it is homogeneous and smooth. Then we will let it rest for half an hour wrapped in the film: in this way it will be easier to spread.
When we spread the dough, let’s do it quite thin, around 3 millimeters in thickness, ideally to be able to roll the strips around the cannoli molds without problems.
Once you have created our streamlined stars, you will just have to fry them in abundant seed oil, at a temperature of about 170-180 degrees Celsius. If we don’t have a kitchen thermometer, we use the classic methods to understand if the oil is hot at the right point or not.
So, what do you say? Isn’t that a fantastic Carnival sweet? The children will be crazy for sure… but also the parents! Let’s prepare these fried streamly stars together and then let me know if you liked them!
How to make Sweet carnival ribbons
Ingredients
Method
- In a bowl we break an egg and add the sugar, the sunflower oil, the anise liqueur, the grated lemon zest and the pinch of salt. Let's start mixing with our hands.
- Let’s add the flour a little at a time, continuing to stir.
- Once we have obtained the dough, let’s transfer it to an in floured work surface and continue to knead until we get a smooth and homogeneous consistency.
- We wrap the dough in the food film to make it rest at least 30 minutes: after that it will be easier to apply.
- After the time, we stretch out the dough with the rolling pin, until it was quite thin. Then we cut the dough into many strips about a centimeter wide.
- Let's roll the strips around the molds for cannoli. To fix them well, brush the two ends with the egg white.
- We fry our streamlined stars in hot oil (about 170 degrees Celsius), turning them occasionally and draining them as soon as they are well golden. Let’s place them away on a sheet of absorbent paper to remove the excess oil.
- Let them cool and then gently pluck out the molds.
- Finally, we decorate our sweet spinning stars with a sprinkling of icing sugar.
A few tips
Don’t we have cannoli molds? Alas are necessary to prepare sweet streamers, but we can also give another shape to our sweets and use the same dough to make chatter, frappe or maybe struffili
Once the excess oil has been drained and removed, let them cool before removing the molds, so that they retain the shape well and do not break.
We can, if we want, to use a gluten-free flour: I recommend starting from the indicated doses and, if necessary, then adjust the dose.
The sweet spinning stars can also make them colored: after preparing the dough and letting it rest, we divide it into several parts and in each we add a little bit of a food coloring gel, reworking each piece to incorporate the colors and obtain a uniform coloring. At this point we spread each dough and proceed as for the uncolored version.
