Steps
For the preparation of Vegan Cinnamon Fritters watch the video HERE.
In a bowl, place the margarine, sugar, lemon zest, orange zest, and vanilla aroma. Add the water
Add the flour, then mix and knead quickly until you get a smooth dough. Form a dough ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough and fold it. Repeat this step several times: this is the secret to obtaining light, crispy, and bubbly fritters.
Divide the dough in half and roll out a very thin sheet. Cut squares and make the classic incisions in the center.
Fry the fritters in hot oil for a few minutes, turning quickly until they are golden and crispy. Drain them on absorbent paper. When still warm, dust with plenty of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
Enjoy your meal!
