SWEET LEMON ARANCINI FOR CARNIVAL from the Marche region, simple and delicious, soft, perfect to enjoy at any time, great for parties.
Easy to make, lemon arancini are fragrant lemon-scented rolls prepared during the Carnival period, and they are so enjoyable, one after another.
The lemon arancini recipe is a variation of the typical Marche orange arancini, made with a simple dough by hand or with a mixer, left to rest, and then used to create these small rolls.
They are fried but can also be baked if desired. Of course, during Carnival, every fried treat is welcome, but for a lighter dessert, the oven is perfect.
