Steps for Carnival Lies

  • To make these delightful carnival lies, put all the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer, starting with the sifted flour, granulated sugar, egg, limoncello, and softened butter. Then add the salt, the grated lemon zest, and the vanilla essence. Start the machine using the hook (K) and begin kneading at a low speed, gradually increasing to speed 2-3, which is medium. When a smooth and homogeneous ball forms, the dough is ready. Of course, you can also knead everything by hand on a pastry board. Let the dough rest for 1 hour in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. Then flour a pastry board, and using a pasta machine, start rolling the dough from number 3 to number 9 thickness. It should be a very thin sheet. Use a fluted or serrated pastry wheel to cut rectangles and make a vertical cut in the center. Heat the peanut oil in a pan to (340°F-347°F), fry the lies, a few at a time, until golden on both sides. It will take 30 seconds per side. Drain them and place them on a tray lined with paper towels or frying paper. Finally, when they are cold, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Here are the carnival lies ready, an infallible recipe. I hope you like my latest recipe, see you next time, friends.

STORAGE, TIPS, AND NOTES

The dough for the lies can also be made the day before or the night before. Resting the dough is essential; you will get a more elastic and thinner dough that will not absorb the oil during cooking.
