Carnival Dream

Measure the flour and sift it

Scald the milk, then let it cool a bit

Dissolve the baking powder in warm water

Combine 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of confectioner's sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of flour

Mix well, cover, and let it rest in a protected place until bubbles form on the surface

Beat the egg yolks in a bain-marie with confectioner's sugar and salt until they turn pale

Add the softened butter, rum, and grated lemon rind to the mixture

Combine the baking powder mixture with the remaining warm milk

Add the remaining flour

Mix well and cover

Let it rest for 1 hour

Knead the dough into a ball and add a little more flour if it's too sticky

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 cm thick

Use two round cutters, one larger than the other

With the larger cutter, just mark the dough

With the smaller cutter, cut out circles

Place 1 tablespoon of rosewater gelato in the center of each large circle and top with smaller circles

Press the edges together and trim with the small cutter

Place the 'dreams' on a heated cloth lightly floured

Cover with another cloth and let it rest for another hour

Heat plenty of oil

Fry the 'dreams' in the hot oil until they're golden brown, turning them over halfway through

Drain excess oil

Dust with confectioner's sugar or common sugar

Make about 30 'dreams', depending on their size.
