Pansarole are the typical dessert of the area, usually accompanied by hot zabaglione. Below is the recipe of Delfina Rossi, winner of the Pansarola d’oro (Golden Pansarola).
1 kg of flour
4 whole eggs
200 g of sugar
80 g of butter
Milk, to taste
40 g of brewer’s yeast
A pinch of salt
Peel of a grated lemon
Anise
Start preparing Pansarole by melting the yeast in a little lukewarm milk.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the anise; mix everything until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Leave the mixture to rise for at least 1 hour, covering it with a cloth.
Roll the dough on a pastry board and cut it into diamonds. Then heat a small saucepan full of oil and fry the Pansarole until browned.
Once cooked, sprinkle the Pansarole with sugar and little anise.
Serve with hot zabaglione!
