Here! Yes, yes we are still just that since we got back from vacation we were diving from work and taken from thousands of commitments we were waiting at the gate .. just punishment for being away almost 4 weeks! Really, it was just a nightmare return to the usual routine of Milan .. for more during the holiday we ate a lot and so I did not really want to talk, think or write about food! And last but not least ... The digital camera is broken! On vacation I even bought two machines and disposable, I was not convinced that they still existed! In short, a conspiracy against the Blog!
But at the end of August, my sister came to visit us in Irpinia and was presented with a box of cookies made with colored his hands ... and then I could dedicate a post with you and your cookies? I can not appreciate his various trials and experiments in the kitchen?
Here they are:
INGREDIENTS:
400 g flour 100 ml milk
150 g butter 250 g sugar 2 eggs + 1 yolk
grated rind of one lemon 1 packet of
yeast 1 packet of powdered sugar colored sprinkles
Combine flour, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Make the fountain in the center and put the milk, melted butter (do not fry and put it cold or at least warm), eggs and lemon zest. Mix and pour over the pastry. If the dough is too soft and remains stuck to the hands to add a little 'flour. Make a strip pasta more or less than 1 cm, 5 cm wide and as long as you want. To form the cookies using stencils or a knife, a fantasy. Arrange on baking sheet covered with parchment paper and brush with beaten egg. Finally sprinkle with icing sugar and colored sprinkles.
Bake at 200 ° C for 10-15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
These cookies are not "crunchy" but rather soft, like pies! So the ideal ... and soak it for well over a nice mug of milk!
Maybe next time we try one of the many recipes we sampled during the holidays and so we also riassuntino of our trip ... now I'm going to help LittleDrag which is grappling with the paella!
nice weekend!
