In a bowl, put the melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well. Add the limoncello and yogurt
blending until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Add the baking powder and flour, then knead quickly until you get a soft dough. Form a loaf,
wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. After resting, divide the dough into several parts. Form small logs,
cut them into the desired size chunks and mold 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!
