Preparation

Sift the flour into a bowl.

Beat the egg and with the rest of the ingredients, add to the flour.

Mix until well combined, and then knead for 5 minutes.
Roll out the dough as thinly as possible, or use a pasta machine to achieve a perfect result.

Using a fluted cutter, cut into strips around 4 cm wide and 10 cm long, and twist.

Heat the oil and carefully place the pastries into the pan, and cook until they start to turn golden, turning as required.

Remove and place on kitchen paper to drain.

Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Keep in a sealed container – they will last for up to a week if properly sealed.
