Cenci

  • 240 gr. of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 20 gr. of butter
  • 20 gr. of sugar
  • 1 spoon of aromatic liqueur (like maraschino)
  • a pinch of salt

Mix and make a thick pasta. Work it for a long time and successively form a sort of block and let it stand for a while covering it with a serviette.

Pull the sheet of pasta dough of about half centimetre and cut it with a small wheel in order to form stripes, knots, triangles, weaves. Fry these pieces in abundant hot oil and when they are still hot sprinkle them with icing sugar.
