- Place the flour in a bowl and add warm wine, oil, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix with a silicon spatula, then transfer on a working surface and knead until you reach a smooth and elastic dough. If the dough is not soft enough, wet your hands with water and wine then keep kneading.
- Roll out the dough in 5mm thick sheets and with a ravioli cutting wheel cut out some strips or diamonds.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the cartellate a few at the time. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
