Orange swirls a typical Carnival dessert. I’ve already told you how much I love Desserts with oranges, so fragrant and so good. So, I couldn’t help but prepare these delightful Arancini. Soft and delicious orange fritters. A very simple leavened dough to prepare and a very simple filling with untreated orange peel and sugar. I fried them as the traditional recipe requires, but if you prefer, baking them is also fine. For an extra touch, you can also choose to decorate them with powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or a drizzle of honey. Soft and delicious orange-scented fritters that caramelize during cooking and fill the whole house with their irresistible aroma. If you love oranges and fried desserts, let’s head to the kitchen and prepare delicious Orange Swirls together.

Ingredients of Orange Swirls
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tbsp butter
- 8 g fresh yeast
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 orange peels (untreated)
- 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
How to prepare Orange Fritters
You can prepare the dough by hand or with the help of a mixer. Dissolve the fresh yeast in lukewarm milk in a bowl. Add the sugar and stir.
Gradually add the flour and mix. Also, add the melted butter and mix well first with a fork and then knead with your hands until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 2-3 hours.
Meanwhile, wash the 2 oranges well and grate the peel. Mix the sugar with the orange peel. Take the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin to form a large rectangle.
Sprinkle the surface with the orange-flavored sugar. Roll the dough from the wider side. Cut slices about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on the work surface and cover with a cloth. Let them rise for about an hour.
Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a small, deep pan. Fry the swirls in hot vegetable oil, letting them brown on all sides. Drain them well on sheets of kitchen paper.

Loredana’s Tips
You can also choose to bake the Orange Fritters in the oven. Place them slightly spaced on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise. Then bake them in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20-25 minutes
