Nonna'S Italian Crostoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 pinch salt
8 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 1/4 cups oil for frying, or as needed
Topping:
3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 drop green food coloring
red food coloring

Preparation

Beat eggs, water, and almond flavoring together in a large bowl. Add salt; gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough.
Knead the dough until it can be rolled out very thinly. Split dough into fist-sized balls; roll out into thin strips using a pasta machine. Cut dough strips into triangles.
Divide sugar among 3 bowls. Add cinnamon to one bowl, green food coloring to the next, and red food coloring to the last. Stir to evenly distribute the additions.
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Place the dough triangles into the hot oil. Fry, turning until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle both sides with one of the sugar toppings.
