    Ingredients

    • 1 c. all-purpose flour
    • 1 pch salt
    • 2 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
    • 1 x lemon zested
    • 1/4 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil plus
    • 2 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil for frying
    • 2 Tbsp. sweet white wine
    • 1/2 c. bittersweet chocolate minced medium fine
    • 1/3 c. hazelnuts toasted, and coarsely minced
    • 1/4 c. apricot jam
    • 1 x egg lightly beaten Honey for brushing fritters

    Directions

    1. Place the flour on a clean work surface and add in the salt, sugar, lemon zest, oil, and sufficient wine to make a hard but tender dough. Knead for 5 min, then wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest 30 min.
    2. In the meantime, make the filling by combining the chocolate, nuts, and jam and mix with a spoon. Set aside, covered.
    3. Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness and, using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as possible. Place a dab of filling on each circle of dough, moisten the edges with a bit of beaten egg, and fold each round in half, pressing them shut with finger pressure or possibly a fork.
    4. In a tall-sided pot, heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry the till they are deep golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Brush each fritter with honey and serve warm or possibly cool.
    5. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings, about 30 to 32 fritters.
