Hi Everyone!Continuing with our traditional Christmas baking, today we have made an old favourite. Crispelle were a very popular treat that Nonnina's mom made back home. Prior to coming to Canada, they could not really afford to buy the ingredients to make cookies so many of their go to treats were made from simple ingredients - mainly savoury, and fried. Crispelle can be made in whichever way you would like and that is the beauty of this simple pastry; you can make it in strips like Nonnina's mom or in circles which is how I enjoy them. They can even be paired with different ingredients. Nonnina either makes them plain, with golden raisins or traditionally with Baccala (salt water cod).
Any way you choose to enjoy this dessert, it is guaranteed to be delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 1/12 cups of water
- 4 tsp of yeast for bread
- 4 tsp of sugar
- 8 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tsp of salt
- 10 cups of flour
- Sugar for dusting
Preparation
1. In a large bowl pour together the water, yeast and sugar and let it sit until the yeast bubbles at the top.
2. Once the yeast has bubbled to the top, pour the mix into the food processor, add the oil and pulse until combined.
3. Add the flour to the food processor once cup at a time, and pulse until all combined.
4. Grease and flower a large bowl, and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set aside for about 3 hours to rise.
5. Once risen, fill a large pan with sunflower or canola oil and stretch strips of the dough apart, laying them gently in the oil.
7. Sprinkle them with a dusting of sugar to finish. Do this as soon as they come out of the oil so that the sugar sticks.
2. Once the yeast has bubbled to the top, pour the mix into the food processor, add the oil and pulse until combined.
6. Flip them over to cook on both sides and remove them using a slotted spoon when they are golden. Put them on paper towels to drain.

I love anything fried 😋 I think I've had something bit similar but with Anchovies used to get those at an Italian festival I went to every year. Will have to give yours a try. Thankyou for sharing...
