to wish you a Merry Christmas, there's nothing better than a nice plate of delicious struffoli bright colored .....
It 's my first time with this typical Neapolitan pastry and make no mistake I have entrusted to the Master De Sal Rice has conferred to "The Trial of the cook" ... here it is:
Ingredients: 500 gr flour
8 g salt 50 g sugar 50 g
white wine 4 eggs
pure vanilla extract (or half the seeds of grapes)
zest of orange and tangerine
60 g butter
For the sauce:
about 400 grams of wildflower honey
orange peel and citron candied
devils (colored dots)
candied cherries (optional)
extra virgin olive oil for frying
abundant flour for the pastry
Place dough (or do it by hand) flour, salt dissolved in a little water, sugar, white wine (which gives the dough) and begin to knead. Add 2 eggs, then vanilla and zest, then the other two eggs and finally butter soft but not liquid.
Stir the mixture for 7 / 8 minutes and then kneaded by hand to give a quick: the final appearance of the dough should be smooth and silky.
Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator a couple of hours.
Take the dough, cut into small pieces and form loaves of fine flour them thoroughly so they will not attack. Quindi riprendere i filoncini, spolverare ancora con farina e tagliarli a tocchetti.
Passare gli struffoli al setaccio per togliere la farina in eccesso e friggre in abbondante olio bollente alla temperatura di 180° finchè sono dorati (non fateli colorire troppo). Sgocciolare e far asciugare su carta assorbente. Far raffreddare.
In una pentola a fuoco basso rendere fluido il miele, quindi fuori dal fuoco aggiungere gli struffoli, il cedro e l'arancia canditi e altra scorza grattugiata di arancia e mandarino. Mescolare bene.
Presentare sul piatto da portata (a montagnola oppure a ciambella mettendo al centro un barattolo di vetro vuoto). Decorare con i diavolini e le ciliegie candite.
What can I say: great, must try ... and if you're not in time for tomorrow since it's already Christmas, prepare for Boxing Day, New Year's Eve to the Epiphany, when you prepare it, but because they deserve really!
Over and out: unless there is some incursion unscheduled Resente in 2011 with the hope that the new year has in Serbian for me to devote time and desire to blog, that last period was in short supply!
I can only wish everyone, absolutely everyone to spend a peaceful Christmas in the company of loved ones and a sparkling new year!
