Ricciarelli, the Sienese recipe
Ricciarelli
Ricciarelli are soft marzipan biscuits typical of Siena and of the Christmas period, let's prepare them for the holidays.
Ingredients(35 piece portions),
500g almond flour
400g icing sugar
200g granulated sugar
60 g candied orange
40g flour
2 egg whites
salt
1pcs wafer-type wafer sheet
essence of bitter almonds
Method
Step 1
For the ricciarelli recipe, cut the candied orange into small pieces and blend it for 1-2 minutes with the icing sugar and almond flour. Then add the flour, a pinch of salt and a few drops of bitter almond essence.
Step 2
Prepare a syrup by dissolving the granulated sugar with 100 g of water; when it begins to "spread", pour it into the mixture of flour, sugar and candied fruit, if possible with the cutter in action.
Step 3
Add the egg whites and continue to blend until you get a compact dough. Collect it in a loaf and let it rest for at least 2 hours.
Step 4
Place it on the wafer and roll it out with a rolling pin dusted with icing sugar (or place a sheet of baking paper between the rolling pin and the dough to prevent it from sticking).
Step 5
Cut out the ricciarelli with a diamond-shaped mold and trim the wafer that will remain at the base of the Biscuits with a small knife. Place the ricciarelli on a baking tray, sprinkle with icing sugar and bake at 160°C for 20 minutes. Take them out and let them cool.
