Galani are thin, crispy pastry sheets typical of the Venetian Carnival. They appear as thin, jagged strips of fried pastry, sprinkled with icing sugar. They are very similar to chiacchiere but have a more crumbly and tasty texture. These sweets are usually prepared during Carnival and are served as a snack or a small dessert after meals. The recipe we offer is simple and quick to prepare, and the result is fragrant and irresistible galani.
