LISTARIĆI
.
Ingredients:
250 g all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 level tablespoon lard
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon brandy or rum
2 heaping tablespoons sour cream
Salt
Grated lemon zest
Lard or oil for frying
.
Preparation:
Sift the flour and add salt and baking soda, then mix everything together. Add the egg, lard (or butter), sugar, brandy, sour cream, and lemon zest, and knead the dough. Form the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Dust the work surface with flour, then roll out the dough thinly and cut it with a pastry wheel.
Fry the listarići in hot fat, turning them briefly on each side until they acquire color. The listarići will puff up slightly during frying, with the dough becoming somewhat hollow in spots.
Remove the listarići with a slotted spoon and drain excess fat on paper towels.
While still warm, dust the listarići with powdered sugar and serve.
