Here is the recipe for frappe or lies or rags or … the secret that I learned from my grandmother is to prepare a thin sheet , because the frappe should be crispy and very light , another little trick is to fry them in abundant and hot oil,  five at a time in a small saucepan  and you’ll see  a spectacular results !
And now … LIGHT THE FIRE !

INGREDIENTS:

- 500g flour 00

- 30 g butter, melted

- 2 egg yolks plus one whole egg

- A spoonful of sugar

- Salt to taste

- White wine to taste

- Oil for frying ( I used the peanut )

- Icing Sugar

WEAR THE APRON , WASH YOUR HANDS … BEGIN !

- With the flour , sugar, a pinch of salt, eggs , butter , make a paste that will work until it becomes smooth, must have the same texture of homemade pasta .

- Let it sit for about ten minutes and then roll it out on floured surface and with the aid of the wheel formed of strips and cut diagonally , then you can leave it like that or give the shape of a ribbon

- Put a small saucepan on the stove top and tight with plenty of oil , once it is hot, friggetene few at a time

- As soon as they have taken on a nice golden color , put them  to drain on a paper towel , after that ‘ sprinkle with powdered sugar

Et voila frappe , the gossip , the lies, the rags , the rosettes … they are called in different ways in Italy!
