Directions
  • First place the flour and baking powder in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
    500 g pastry flour, 6 g baking powder
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
    3 eggs
  • Now add the beaten eggs, egg yolk, sugar, grappa and salt to the bowl.
    70 g sugar, 30 ml grappa, 1 egg yolk, 1 pinch salt
  • Fit the stand mixer with the paddle attachment and mix for about 5 minutes until everything is well mixed.
  • Now replace the mixer with the dough hook. Add the seeds from the vanilla bean and the softened butter and knead for 15 minutes.
    1 vanilla bean, 50 g butter
  • Then transfer the dough to a clean work surface and quickly shape into a ball with your hands. Then wrap in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • After the resting phase, divide the dough into portions of approx. 150g / 5oz. Flatten each portion slightly by hand and flour it. Then place in the pasta maker and roll out on the thickest setting. Repeat this process several times, reducing the setting a little each time. At the end, the dough should be approx. 2mm / 0.1in thick. (Alternatively, the dough can also be rolled out with a rolling pin). Then leave the dough to rest briefly.
  • Then cut the dough into rectangles measuring approx. 5x10cm / 2x4in using a cutter wheel. Make a 5cm / 2in cut in the middle of each rectangle, parallel to the long side.
  • Now heat enough sunflower oil in a large pan. As soon as the oil is hot enough, add two to three pieces of dough at a time and fry until golden brown. Turn several times with a slotted spoon.
  • Then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Leave the chiacchiere to cool completely.
  • Finally, transfer to a large plate, sprinkle with plenty of powdered sugar and enjoy.
    Buon appetito!
