Steps
To prepare the Crunchy 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.
Mix the batter well and add the baking powder, incorporating it well.
Pour in the sunflower oil.
If desired, you can also add some drops of rum and mix with the whisk.
Add the flour and part of the cocoa and continue to mix well.
Add the remaining cocoa, incorporating it well using a spatula.
Once you have a fairly thick batter, grease a griddle with a little sunflower oil, spreading it with a paper towel.
Let it heat up and pour half a tablespoon of batter onto it.
Wait a good minute and a half before opening the griddle to check the cooking.
If it is cooked properly (each griddle has its own timing), remove the ferratella and let it rest.
Proceed this way until the batter is finished and fill them as desired at the moment, or simply enjoy them as they are.
