Mardi Gras treats are a traditional delight enjoyed during the Carnival season. Originating from a region in France, these crispy, golden fried pastries are part of traditional Mardi Gras recipes. Their preparation requires a bit of patience, but the result is truly worth the effort. With a dough made of flour, eggs, and butter flavored with brandy, these sweets are then fried and dusted with powdered sugar. Cook them!

Ingredients
 500 Flour
 120 Sugar
 100 Butter
 25 Icing sugar
 4 Egg
 8 Salt
Directions
1

Put the flour in a bowl, then add the sugar, salt, melted butter from a saucepan (this makes it easier to work the dough), whole eggs, and finally, the brandy.

2

Knead the mixture until you obtain a fairly firm dough. Roll it into a ball, cover it with a cloth, and let it rest for 2 hours.

3

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut out shapes using cookie cutters.

4

Prepare the oil for frying. Carefully add small quantities of the dough into the hot oil. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

5

To finish, take them out and drain them on absorbent paper. Keep them warm at the entrance of the oven. Once all the batches are done, dust the bowl with powdered sugar.
