Happy Birthday Bubble Letters Color In

San Martino


in these times of fog
struggling with that here in November is still warm Padania


I collected a few hours dedicated to simple, buttery biscuits
to chat with friends in the morning
a steaming cup of tea or vanilla
on the edge of one Sunday a bit 'lazy
ranicchiati versus temperature in the house wet and nasty tasting
the first few days of brief light
with small gestures that attempt to make the most fascinating to me that
cold winds
leaves and branches and dances with the smoke of roasted chestnuts in my bed.
in Padua in October and November are heated by small fire
of men and warm sleeveless sure that tinkering
chestnuts roasted on the embers
and often find me in a cap in hand to munch on with your fingers blackened

to warm up the lights dimmed the first night and nibble a bit nebulous
'waiting for the dinner.
and you? what are the tricks of autumn on the road?

even meringues and the recipe here

and shortbread biscuits made so

3 egg yolks 280 g flour 130 g butter OO

100 gr sugar (even 80 is enough)
mount the softened butter with sugar until it is fluffy and soft.
add 3 egg yolks and mix gently.
gradually sift in the flour until the mixture is smooth and compact and does not stick to your fingers. The flour should always be added step by step because its amount depends on the wet del'impasto. This, in turn, depends on the size of the eggs and moisture. Board proceeding cause gradually, 280gr of flour could be enough uan amount slightly lower or higher. where the mixture is too soft, add flour.
if the mixture is dry and crumbly easily add a tablespoon of cold water.
wrap in plastic wrap and forgotten in the fridge for half an hour.
roll out the dough and cut out the biscuits, the shape is desired, the thickness is 0.5cm.
cook on plate lined with parchment or a silicone mat to 180 °.
are ready when slightly amber, about 10/15 minutes.
once cooled dip it into melted chocolate, I used dark chocolate, but nothing prevents melt white chocolate or milk chocolate in a bain marie.
wanting can be rolled in chopped hazelnuts dipped once in chocolate.
to rest on cookie sheet and after cooling the chocolate store in a closed box.
