Nutella filled bugies are a delicious variation of the classic Carnival chiacchiere, typical of Italian tradition.
These delightful treats are easy and quick to prepare, have an irresistible taste, and are perfect for celebrating Carnival together or for a special snack that will win over both kids and adults.
You can substitute the Nutella filling with jam or other spreadable creams. The result will still be a success.
I recommend preparing double because they’ll disappear in no time.

Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 packet baking powder
- as needed Nutella®
- 1 packet vanillin
- 1 pinch salt
- as needed peanut oil (for frying)
- as needed powdered sugar
Tools
- Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- Pan
Steps
In a bowl, pour the sifted flour. Add the eggs, sugar, melted butter, baking powder, vanillin and a pinch of salt. Knead well until a smooth and elastic dough is obtained. If necessary, add a little flour to get the right consistency.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
After this time, transfer the dough onto a kneading board and roll it out with a rolling pin until a thin sheet is obtained. If you use a pasta machine, just pass it under the first thickness.
Cut the sheet into rectangles about 2 3/4 inches long. In the center of each piece, place a teaspoon of Nutella.
Fold each rectangle in half, forming a square, and press the edges well to seal the filling.
In a high pan, heat the peanut oil to a medium-high temperature. Fry the bugies a few at a time, turning them until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once ready, drain on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Sprinkle our Nutella Filled Bugies with plenty of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your snack and happy Carnival!
