A frappe is essentially fried dough, this is sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. This is often eaten around the holidays in Italy.
Pour flour on your work surface. Make a well in the center.
Add to the well the egg, egg yolk, lard, sugar, salt and white wine
Mix wet ingredients with a fork, then begin to pull in the flour to make a dough
When mixture is thick enough to work with your hands, continue to mix and knead the dough until you have a soft and smooth ball of dough.
Let dough rest for 10 minutes
With a rolling pin, roll the dough very thin (approx 1/8”)
In a small saucepan, heat the oil
Cut dough into small strips and shape them into a knot, a rose, or just leave them straight.
When the oil is hot, fry the dough pieces, a few at a time until lightly golden. Drain onto paper towels. Continue until all the dough is fried.
Transfer pastries to a serving plate
Mix together about ¼ cup powdered sugar with about 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.(adjust amounts to taste)
With a fine sieve, dust the fried dough with the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
