Steps
To prepare crispy Abruzzese Ferratelle with cocoa, first, in a clean and dry bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until you obtain a fairly light and frothy mixture.
Work the mixture well and add the baking powder, incorporating it thoroughly.
Pour in the sunflower oil.
If you like, you can also add some rum drops and mix with the whisk.
Add the flour and some of the cocoa and continue to mix well.
Add the remaining cocoa, incorporating it well using a spatula for this operation.
Once you obtain a fairly thick mixture, grease an iron with a little sunflower oil, distributing it with some paper towels.
Heat it up and pour in half a tablespoon of the mixture.
Wait a good minute and a half before opening the iron and checking the cooking.
If it’s right (each iron has its own time), remove the ferratella and let it rest.
Continue this way until the batter is finished and fill them as you like at the moment or simply enjoy them as they are.
