Chiacchiere are traditional Italian pastries, often enjoyed during the Carnival season. They are made from a simple dough of flour, eggs, sugar, and a splash of liquor, which is rolled out thin and cut into various shapes. The dough is then deep-fried until golden and crispy. These treats are typically dusted with powdered sugar before serving, giving them a sweet finish. Known by different names in various regions, such as frappe or bugie, chiacchiere are a beloved part of Italian culture, symbolizing celebration and festivity during the Carnival festivities.
