Instructions
To a bowl add sugar, water, oil, white wine, lemon zest and mix together with a spatula. Now add in the flour and a pinch of salt and mix till you get a dough ball.
Transfer to a worktop and knead with your hands for 5 minutes until you get a smooth dough ball. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour, covered with a cloth.
Cut the dough into two pieces, then roll it out very thinly. You should almost be able to see through the dough. You can use a rolling pin or a pasta machine.While you roll it out, fold it on its own 3 to 5 times. This will make the chiacchiere lighter, crispier and full of bubbles.

Lovely snacks you'be taught
I can’t believe how delicious these were! I’ve always made them the traditional way, and I was very hesitant to try a vegan version for my kids because they do take some time, but this recipe blew us all away! Everyone, including non vegans, said they were the best chiacchiere (Crostui in Friuli) they’ve ever eaten.
I used grappa instead of wine, and orange zest instead of lemon, otherwise followed your recipe exactly. Thank you so much for this perfect recipe. It will definitely replace my old one.
(Also, this didn’t make a bushel full so it was much quicker than I expected!)
I prefer to use organic honey, and I like to know that the bees are treated well. I've been purchasing honey from Amazon because I can read reviews and learn about the source before making a purchase. I've been using this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pure-Gold-Premium-Select-Manuka/dp/B07VRX7TL5?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 for years, and I'm happy with it.
Hello Chef Nico,
Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful recipe! In my family, we call these "guandi." I love that you can bake them instead of frying! It was a very easy recipe and didn't require much time to prepare. I made 40 pieces! They were delicious! I made them to surprise my mom for Palm Sunday and they were a hit! I used white wine for my first time making them but next time I'll try Limoncello! I will definitely make these again and AGAIN! They were sooooo good!
Grazie per la ricetta!
My mother used to make chiacchiere at Christmas, but never left a written recipe. Now that she is gone, of course, I want to make my mom's scarollas (that is what she used to call them). I have tried and tried for six years years, and this is the first recipe that is exactly like hers. I was full of tears of happiness while I was making them. My heart is so full of joy right now. Mille Grazia!!
