30 gr. - Milk or plant milk
15 gr. - Vegetable oil
1 - Egg
1l - FRIENN - Olitalia deep-frying oil
Q.s. - Icing sugar

Pour the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Add the liquid ingredients (milk, oil, and egg) and the grated lemon zest. Mix all the ingredients first with a fork, then knead the dough with your hands on a work surface until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.
Use a dough cutter to divide the dough into 3 parts. Sprinkle some flour on both sides of the three dough pieces and roll them out using a pasta machine. Start thicker and gradually roll the dough thinner, about 1-2 mm thick. Sprinkle some flour on the dough sheet each time you have to pass it through the machine.
through the machine.Spread the jam, custard, or hazelnut filling, then fold the pastry sheet and close the cakes accurately: if the two layers do not stick together, help yourself with a drop of water. Pour Frienn into a large pan and let it heat. Frienn is a special deep-frying oil by Olitalia which is made from high-oleic sunflower and guarantees crispy and dry fried food with less bad smell. Deep fry the cakes on both sides, then drain the excess oil and let them dry on some kitchen paper or oil-absorbing paper for fried food.
Once cooled, sprinkle the stuffed "bugie" cakes with plenty of icing sugar!
