2. Sift the gluten-free flour mix together with the baking soda, add the sugar and lemon zest, and mix with a whisk.

6. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. (30 min)
7. Take the dough out of the fridge, knead briefly by hand and divide into two equal parts.
8. Roll out each part using a pasta machine or a rolling pin on the work surface.
9. Pass the dough through the rollers 2-3 times until the sheet is smooth, then narrow the rollers down to 1 mm thickness.
10. Transfer the rolled sheets onto baking paper and cut into 12x6 cm rectangles with a fluted pastry wheel.
11. Make two vertical slits in the middle of each rectangle.
12. Heat the peanut oil in a pan to about 170°C.
13. Dip 2-3 pieces of dough into the hot oil and fry for about 20 seconds.
14. Lift the pastries out with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.
15. Serve warm, generously dusted with icing sugar.
