Swiss chatter

Ingredients x 12 chat

  • eggs 2
  • vegetable cream 35 g
  • granulated sugar 15 g
  • rum 10 ml
  • salt 1 pinch
  • 00 flour 230 g
  • peanut oil

Preparation of Swiss chiacchiere

The first thing to do to prepare the Swiss chatter is to beat the cream, eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Work with the help of a fork until obtained a frothy mixture. At this point add the rum and the pinch of salt and give it another stir. Sift the flour and incorporate it one spoonful at a time, being careful not to form lumps. Knead until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Cover with cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Once the time has passed, we move on to forming the Carnival sweets.

Divide the dough into 12 parts and form 12 dots. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out each ball with a rolling pin. They must be thin as possible. Bring the peanut oil to temperature. Before dipping the chiacchiere, test with a toothpick: if bubbles form immediately when dipping, then it is ready. Dip the sweets and rotate themhelping you with the handle of a ladle, to create the classic bubbles. Drain and transfer to a serving plate, then complete with a nice sprinkling of icing sugar. Your Swiss chatter they are ready.
