Let's make Chiacchiere! Chiacchiere are a fried dough normally cooked during carnivale season in Italy. Today, we are sharing Nonna Antionetta's recipe! Chiacchiere is a type of Italian pastry traditionally enjoyed during the Carnival season. It originated in the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, in which sweet treats such as honey cakes and fried dough were served as a symbol of abundance and prosperity. During the Middle Ages, it acquired its current name, which comes from the Italian word "chiacchierare," meaning "to chatter." Chiacchiere is traditionally made with a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, white wine, and lard. It is fried and then sprinkled with powdered sugar, making it a delightfully sweet and crunchy snack. We hope you try this recipe and tell us how it came out! . . . . . #dessert #privatechef #farmtotable #foodie #foodaddict #weareinpuglia #holidayinpuglia #puglia #italianfood #PugliaEats #ItalianRecipes #PugliaCuisine #AuthenticItalian #TasteofPuglia #SouthernItalianFood #SouthernItalyRecipes #PuglieseRecipes #PuglieseCooking #CucinaPugliese #yum #italy #carinvale #Chiacchiere #PugliaStreetFood #PugliaDesserts #PugliaFoodTour #PugliaTastyTreats
