Directions

  1. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the wine, oil and sugar. Mix on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add in the flour and mix until a supple dough forms, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with plastic wrap. Rest on the counter for 20 minutes.
  4. Working with a golf ball sized piece of dough at a time, flatten it between your hands and feed the dough through the widest setting of a pasta roller 2-3 times folding it until you get an even rectangle and the dough no longer has any holes. Then pass the dough through a #3 setting 2-3 times until you have smooth rectangular sheets. Alternatively you may roll the dough out with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Place the sheets on a clean work surface and using a ravioli cutter, cut out strips of dough about 3-4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Twist each strip of dough once or twice and press the center together lightly.
  6. Put a 12 inch heavy bottomed skillet over a high flame and heat about 2 inches of oil. Fry the chiacchiere in batches until golden brown for about 1-2 minutes per batch.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and dust with confectioners sugar.

To Jenfragram: Try warming the honey, in a pot on the stove, for dipping the cookies. - Speranza
