EXTREMELY SOFT CASTAGNOLE WITH POTATOES RICOTTA AND APPLES READY IN 10 MINUTES WITH A LITTLE TRICK

Extremely soft castagnole with potatoes ricotta and apples ready in 10 minutes with a little trick that will keep them soft even the next day. When Carnival approaches, I like to always try new recipes but never miss out on the traditional classics like the Frappe and the castagnole as they were once made. These castagnole with potatoes ricotta and apples, besides being nice and round and with lots of sugar, have conquered everyone with their softness and texture. I was sure they would be liked because I have already used this dough to make castagnole with potatoes and ricotta but this time, I also added apples and with the fantastic trick I’ve been using for years, they remained extremely soft even the next day.

It’s a very simple dough that you prepare in a bowl with my grandma’s famous method that I also use to make the classic pound cake and many other breakfast sweets like the chocolate pound cake all in a bowl cooked in an air fryer. Once fried, you have to soak them this way they will remain extremely soft even the next day.

Now all that’s left is to get all the ingredients, a nice bowl, and try these delights and I’m sure they won’t last until the next day. But let’s see what we need to make the extremely soft castagnole with potatoes ricotta and apples ready in 10 minutes with a little trick.
