Method

Mix the flour with the baking powder. Heat the water with the butter, lemon peel and salt; when it boils, remove the lemon.
Add the flour and baking powder at once and stir over a low heat for 1–2 minutes until the dough pulls away and leaves a thin film on the base.
Cool for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the egg, fully incorporating each addition.
Heat the olive oil to 170°C and drop in small teaspoonfuls of dough. Fry only a few at a time for about 4–5 minutes, turning if they do not turn themselves. Open the first one to check that the centre is hollow and cooked, without wet dough; lower the temperature slightly if they brown before cooking through.
Drain and roll the warm fritters in the sugar.
