Bugie are a type of traditional Italian pastry, often enjoyed during festive occasions. They are typically made from a simple dough that is rolled out, cut into shapes, and then fried or baked. The pastries are often dusted with powdered sugar and can be filled with various sweet fillings, such as jam or cream. These treats are especially popular during Carnival season, where they are made in various forms and sizes. The name "bugie" translates to "lies" in Italian, which is thought to refer to their light, airy texture that can be deceptive in appearance.
