Time 2h1m

Yield 96

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 eggs
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 pinch salt
8 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 ¼ cups oil for frying, or as needed
3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 drop green food coloring
red food coloring

Steps:

  • Beat eggs, water, and almond flavoring together in a large bowl. Add salt; gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough.
  • Knead the dough until it can be rolled out very thinly. Split dough into fist-sized balls; roll out into thin strips using a pasta machine. Cut dough strips into triangles.
  • Divide sugar among 3 bowls. Add cinnamon to one bowl, green food coloring to the next, and red food coloring to the last. Stir to evenly distribute the additions.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Place the dough triangles into the hot oil. Fry, turning until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle both sides with one of the sugar toppings.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The crostoli were still delicious.

These crostoli were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.
