Crisps (Dried or Scovergi) with Sour Cream
To prepare a delicious garnish that will impress everyone, follow these detailed steps to achieve a perfect dough. Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients, except for the flour, which will be added at the end. It is essential not to add all the flour at once, as the amount of flour needed may vary depending on the type of flour used and the humidity in the air. Mix the wet ingredients until well combined, then start adding the flour gradually. This method will allow you to observe how much flour your mixture absorbs.
The ideal dough will be non-sticky and homogeneous. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, take some time to knead the dough on the work surface for about 5 minutes. It is important to use the correct technique: fold the dough repeatedly, pushing it from the edges towards the center under the palm of your hand, to incorporate as much air as possible. This step is essential to achieving a fluffy and airy texture.
Once the dough is kneaded, shape it into a ball and cover it with a bowl or a clean towel. Let it rest for 30 minutes; this resting time will allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to shape later. After this interval, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin sheet, about 3-4 mm thick.
To create the desired shapes, cut the sheet into rectangles, making sure to make two cuts in the middle of each piece; this detail will allow the dough to puff up nicely during frying.
Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a deep pan. Make sure the oil is well heated but not smoking, to avoid burning the dough. Carefully place each rectangle of dough into the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, turning it with a spatula to cook evenly.
Once fried, remove them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. When cooled, dust them with powdered sugar, adding a touch of sweetness that will perfectly contrast with their crispy texture. Serve them warm or at room temperature and enjoy every bite! This recipe will surely earn you applause and will become a favorite among your loved ones.
