Description servings: 8
calories: medium
category: starter
cost: low
difficulty: easy
preparation time: 30

Ingredients Flour 1200 gr.
Yeast 50 gr.
Salted anchovies 5
Extra virgin olive oil as required

Preparation Mix the water and the flour and work it until you have a smooth mixture. Then add the yeast and let it rise in a warm place covered with a kitchen cloth.

Wash the anchovies, take out the bones and break them into pieces.
When the dough has risen well, you can mix them into the dough.
Using a tablespoon scoop out one piece of dough which is now ready for
frying.
Otherwise you can stuff each piece with the anchovies. Put plenty of oil
into a frying pan and when it is good and hot, fry the balls until they are
golden brown. Serve hot.

The Chef's tips Instead of filling your crispelle with anchovies, you may choose to
insert fresh Ricotta cheese as an alternative.

Curiosity: this dish is tied to the Christmas holidays,
where it was most popular in the south of Italy especially in Sicily.
