I Introduce Myself

I close the eyes and think at beautiful moments passed in the places that I have had the pleasure to visit.

The memory of the words exchanged with people that I will not meet more, feel smell of a cake eaten for case in a place for case and…not forget more the sapore..

Conserve of every place the colors, the scents, the culture.

I'm Italia of the south, I have 35 years and two beautiful twin children . Open this blog is for me like opening the doors of my house, propose my recipes and receive the yours, make known to you our traditions and know those yours, to make along travel through the wealth of the foods that my earth offers every day and portami to house something of yours. I am Italian, and I decided to write a blog in English to learn (I ask excuse for the errors!!) and because I would want to share all this with who as me through the kitchen it succeeds to dream…

BISCUITS APULIA (PASTARELLE PUGLIESI)


... when I was a little girl, on Sunday morning walking with
my friends through the streets of my country ,I was being wrapped  by a sweet perfume
"How wonderful they prepare the biscuits!"
Some time ago, flipping between my grandmother's notes I find  the recipe that of us here we call "Pasterelle".
Ideal for breakfast soaked in milk, are excellent as a snack or to be offered to children...


Ingredients:

35, 2 oz (1kg) flour 00
1 1 / 3 cup (300gr) white sugar
6, 76 fl. oz (200ml) oil
0, 88 oz. (25gr) ammonia for cakes
4 eggs
half glass cold milk
grated rind of one lemon

Put the flour, sugar, ammonia, and the lemon zest in a bowl. Make a hole in the center and add the milk and eggs.
Knead the dough and divide it into three (the dough is very sticky)
Give the form of a large wustel and divide it into several parts.
Sprinkle cookies with white sugar and place on a baking sheet with baking paper. Bake at 392 F° (200°C) degrees for about 15/20 minutes.
The smell the ammonia released in the oven during the cooking process does not alter the taste of the biscuit.
