Piricchittus
Ingredienti:
- 300g flour
- 6 eggs
- A cup of oil
- 400g of sugar for the coating
Preparation:
In a bowl, beat five eggs and add slowly the
flour and the oil. Work the mixture well until
it is smooth and soft, at which point the sixth
egg is added.
Covering your hands in flour, take two pieces
of the mixture and make either two long strips
which are then cut into pieces, or roll into
balls. These are then placed, with a reasonable
distance between them, into a baking pan which
has already been covered in flour.
Put the baking pan into the oven at a moderate
heat so that the mixture will cook through
to the middle. In the meantime, prepare the
covering. Pour a cup of water into a terracotta
vessel and then add the sugar and the grated
lemon rind.
The vessel should be left over the flame until
a thick syrup has formed. In this, place the piricchittus and
turn them quickly so that they absorb the sweetness
of the sugar. Finally, pour all the contents
of the vessel onto a flat marble surface and,
by hand, remove the sweets from one another.
Place in a plate to cool.
It is a sweet that can be preserved for a
long time. |
