    strufoli al miele 006

    Today I decide to use like this  my dose of calories for lunch,  ……
    My grandmother used to say that the real strufolo, is done without a ”cartina” (yeast) and when it fries it  turns on its own, without being touched … and it’s true!

    Ingredients for about 25 strufoli
    360 g of flour
    4 eggs
    4 tablespoons of sugar
    vanilla
    grated rind of one lemon
    two tablespoons of rum and two of anisette
    4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
    frying oil to cook
    Wildflower honey for dressing

    Mix all ingredients well handling the dough patiently for at least 20 minutes. Let stand for 1 hour, then fry in hot oil until golden brown. Once dry frying, flavor with warmed honey.


  3. CARNIVAL’ WAFERS

    le cialde di carnevale

    Today with my mom, we cooked “LE CIALDE”.This is a typical cake of Marsciano (my town) for the Carnival. They are not very difficult to do but you’ll need two basic things: the electric iron to make holy wafers, and lots of patience!

    Ingredients for 50 waffles:
    500 g of flour 00
    250 gr. of sugar
    500 ml. Dry white wine
    250 ml. Of Vin Santo (sweet)
    a tablespoon of Anise seeds

    Mix well all the ingredients to obtain a quite liquid mixture. Heat very well  the iron, and put a tablespoon of dough. Close iron and cook for about 1 minute,  remove the wafer and when it is still warm, roll it. If placed in a metal box, wafers will keep crispy for several days. Serve with whipped cream: and be careful because you can eat a ton of it!
