Work the butter with the sugar to froth, add the lemon zest and then the flour. Afterwards add the water and the eggs one by one, working the mass with a spatula. On the floured board continue to work the dough and add more flour until the dough no longer sticks.

To cook, heat the oil in the fryer to 160 – 170 °C. Using two spoons, help yourself to portions of the dough and create tortelli. Fry the tortelli until golden brown.
