In a bowl, put the melted butter, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla aroma. Mix well. Add the limoncello or limoncello cream,
then add the flour and knead quickly until you get a smooth dough. Form a dough ball
wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. After resting, roll out the dough and make several folds. Repeat the process several times: this is the secret to obtaining light and bubbly fritters when frying.
After a few folds, roll out the pastry as thin as possible. Cut into desired sizes and make the two classic central cuts.
Before frying, slightly stretch each piece by hand. Fry a few fritters at a time in hot oil for a few minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. When still warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and grated lemon zest.
