Preparation Soften the butter in a bowl and then add the eggs, one at a time. Grate the lemon and add it to the bowl as well as a pinch of salt. Add enough flour to make a soft dough and then the baking powder.
Heat the oil in a pan and then using a spoon, make small balls the size of a nut and put them into the pan. As soon as they become golden brown, remove them and put them onto a piece of absorbent paper. Then sprinkle them with icing sugar.
The Chef's tips This is the time of the year that even fried food may be digested as it is cold enough. We suggest that you drink a cool white wine with your castagnole, for example Recioto Curiosity During Roman times, Carnival was celebrated for days and days and it was the most festive of all the holidays.
