Paola’s Ciambelline
Ingredients:
1 glass of white or red wine (plastic glass size)
1 glass of sugar
1 glass of oil (olive oil or other type)
Flour as needed
Instructions:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees (350 Fahrenheit). Mix the ingredients to form a soft dough, not too hard, as you add sugar to the top. If it is too hard, the sugar will not attach. Mix the wine, sugar and oil in a container with your hands, then start adding the flour. Remember to make the tubes and then cut them and close the ends to create the ciambellina or donut shape. They must be the same size otherwise they could either burn or not cook as well as another size. Use cookie sheets as a tray with oven paper and put the ciambellina on top to cook in the oven.
Paola’s Tiramisu
Ingredients:
500 grams of Mascarpone
5 eggs
5 full spoons of sugar
One pack of Pavesini biscuits
Espresso coffee at room temperature
Instructions:
Separate the eggs: the white in one bowl and the yolks in another. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until they are white, the sugar must be invisible. Once complete, add the mascarpone. Beat the egg white into peaks with a pinch of salt. Put the two bowls together and stir from bottom to top. Using a container, dip the Pavesini in the coffee and start layering them. It is also possible to make individual portions. Add cream to the top surface layer and then sprinkle with dark powdered chocolate.
