Why It Works

Bugnes Lyonnaises

Burgundy & Lyonnais — Lyonnais Cuisine

Rolling too thick, producing a bready fritter instead of a crisp, shattering ribbon. Not resting the dough, resulting in elastic dough that springs back during rolling. Frying at too high a temperature, which browns before crisping. Not creating the central-slit twist, which is both decorative and functional (it ensures even frying). Making them too far in advance—bugnes lose their crispness within 6-8 hours.
