Tortelli di San Giuseppe

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.

After drying them lightly on absorbent paper, place them on a plate and dust them with icing sugar.
