For perfect frying
it is important to respect some basic rules:- Do not exceed the smoke point of the oil you are using
- Fry the dough only when the oil is very hot to prevent the pancakes from getting soaked in oil
- Maintain constant heat
- Fry a few pancakes at a time to prevent the oil temperature from dropping excessively
- Use a food thermometer to constantly monitor the temperature
- Use an oil with a high smoke point (e.g. extra virgin olive oil or peanut oil) to prevent the formation of aromatic compounds that are toxic to health
- When the oil is hot, proceed with the preparation of the pancakes. With the help of a couple of teaspoons, take a small portion of dough at a time and drop it into the boiling oil: after about a minute, turn the pancake to cook it on the other side.
- As the pancakes are ready (2-3 minutes), remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a sheet of absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
- Serve immediately, sprinkling with bitter cocoa or powdered sugar as desired.

For a lighter version, you can decide to bake the pancakes in the oven: make small tufts of dough and arrange them on a baking tray or fill molds. Cook at 160 ° C for 15/20 minutes, or until the cakes appear golden. and fluffy.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
