Put the flour in a bowl and make a hollow in the middle.

Place the sugar butter egg and a pinch of salt in the hollow.

Make another hollow in the dough and work in the white wine gradually.

The dough must not be too stiff or too slack.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 3 mm thick.

Using a notched wheel type pastry cutter if you have one cut out 11cm squares.

Roll each square of pastry diagonally around the foil.

Brush the outer corner with egg white and press lightly on to the pastry to seal the roll.

Heat the oil and fry the rolls for 3 minutes until golden brown.

Turn them in the hot oil several times during cooking using a slotted spoon so that they colour on all sides.
