In a bowl, put the melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well. Add the limoncello and yogurt
mixing until you get a homogeneous mixture. Add the baking powder and flour, then knead quickly until you get a soft dough. Form a dough ball,
wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. After resting, divide the dough into several parts. Shape into sticks,
cut them into pieces of the desired size and roll them into balls with your hands. Heat the seed oil and fry the castagnole in hot oil, a few at a time. Turn them often and let them cook for a few minutes until they are puffed up and golden.
Drain them on absorbent paper and arrange them on a plate. Finish with a generous dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your meal!
