Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and lemon zest.
- Add the eggs, the extra yolk, the olive oil, the rum and the vanilla, then knead until you have a firm, smooth dough.
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm and let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Roll the dough out very thinly, about 1 mm thick, with a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
- Cut strips about 10 cm long and 2 cm wide, make a small slit in the centre of each and pull one end through it.
- Heat the oil to 175 °C and fry the kroštule briefly, until golden and crisp.
- Drain on kitchen paper.
- Dust generously with icing sugar before serving.
Variations and tips
In the oven. Place the kroštule on a tray, brush them with a little melted butter and bake at 180 °C for 10 to 12 minutes.
Twisted version. Twist two strips together before frying for a more decorative look.
