TORTAS FRITAS (FRIED SWEET DOUGH)
These fried dough treats are a favorite indulgence in Argentina. Its history dates back more than a century when gauchos roamed the open lands, and their diet consisted mostly of beef and trail foods, and most would crave a sweet treat now and then. A simple recipe was created that could easily be prepared with limited equipment....

Steps:
- 1. Mix together the topping ingredients (sugar and cinnamon) on a small, shallow plate; set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt with a fork. Form a well in the center, and add the melted butter. Mix until ingredients are well incorporated. Slowly add the warm water a little at a time, and mix until the dough is well mixed and still moist but not sticky or "mushy". (You might not need the entire amount of water.)
- 3. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 3 minutes or until the dough feels smooth and uniform. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each dough portion into a ball about the size of a large walnut. Allow the dough balls to rest on a lightly floured surface for 15 minutes.
- 4. Take a dough ball, flatten it with your palms, and use your palm and heel of your hand to form each dough ball into a flat round about 1/8-inch thick. Use a sharp knife and cut an X in the middle of each dough round (which helps them to cook evenly in the center).
- 5. Heat the oil in a deep skillet or a heavy-duty saucepan. The oil needs to get very hot to ensure adequate (quick but deep) frying with minimal absorption of the oil. If the oil isn't hot enough, the Tortas become greasy and dense.
- 6. Drop 2 to 3 dough rounds into the hot oil at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Let the dough rounds fry for about 45 to 60 seconds or until golden brown. Using a pair of tongs, gently flip the tortas and let the other side fry for another 45 to 60 seconds or until golden. (The oil will be very hot, so be careful not to splash oil!). Remove fried tortas to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. When cool enough to handle, roll warm tortas in the sugar/cinnamon mixture, and serve while still hot.
TORTA FRITTA (FRIED DOUGH ITALIAN STYLE)
This tasty snack is nice on its own, but even better with a selection of salamis, sliced cured meats, such as prosciutto, salame di Felino, culatello and coppa, or jams and jellies.This is very similar to a dish from Emilia Romagna called gnoccho. Time does not include proofing time.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine milk and 1 1/3 cups water. Heat to 110F or until warm to touch; remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine 5 cups of the flour, yeast and salt; make a well. Add olive oil and warm milk mixture and, using a wooden spoon, stir until dough just starts to form.
- Turn out onto a well-floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, adding more flour by the tablespoon as needed to keep dough from being too sticky, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a clean bowl, cover with a clean dishtowel, and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly-floured surface. Roll out to a ¼ inch thick rectangle, and cut into (about 50) 2 by 3 inch rectangles, transferring cut pieces to a sheet of parchment paper with space between each piece.
- Fill a deep saucepan with 1½ inches peanut oil and heat to 365F Fry dough pieces in batches, turning them before they are halfway done, until puffed and golden brown on both sides, about 1½ minutes total.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer torta frittas to paper towels in order to drain. Serve immediately.
