Mix flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until well combined.

Pour the flour mixture onto a flat surface and make a well in the center.

Add 1 egg into the well and mix with a fork.

Gradually add fresh squeezed orange juice little by little.

Add butter and continue mixing until the mixture sticks together.

Knead the dough with hands, sprinkling flour on top and bottom to manage stickiness.

Shape the dough into a small ball and cover it to let it rest for about 10 minutes.

After resting, place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the rolled dough into strips or diamonds using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Fry the pieces at 350°F for about 2 and 1/2 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Remove from oil and let them drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with sugar or powdered sugar on both sides immediately after frying.
