Each day gets more difficult to surf the internet, just because a harlot affiliated with the Illuminati, and BREAKS THE LAW on daily basis - she is an avid home wrecker, excellent at her skills of identity theft, and a player. Read more Since '93, this woman has retained hackers to destroy my PC, the years of research, and not to mention a long list of travesties. It is difficult to surmise the EVILNESS that engulfs this woman. However, today I can still deliver another recipe. ..."Susamielli: These are traditional Neapolitan Christmas cookies, and are S-shaped. For two possible reasons: First, in the past they were called sesamielli, and covered with sesame seeds. Second, they were (and are) called Sapienze, because they were made by nuns of the Monastero della Sapienza. See less
Ingredients
- *Prep Time - who can really say, because we all have our own cooking style. shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups (250 g) flour shopping list
- 9 ounces (250 grams, or about a cup) good honey shopping list
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar shopping list
- 1/4 pound (100 g) chopped almonds shopping list
- Diced candied orange peel, melon peel, and citron shopping list
- A mixture of ground cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg shopping list
- A pinch of bicarbonate shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the almonds, citron, orange peel, and melon peel with the flour, and then heat the honey over a gentle flame.
- Meanwhile, make a mound of the flour and scoop a well into it, and preheat your oven to 340 F (170 C).
- As soon as the honey has heated and become liquid stir it into the flour, together with a pinch of bicarbonate and a teaspoon of the mixed spices, and work the dough until it is smooth and uniform.
- Roll the dough out into a 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick snake. Cut it into sections about 8 inches long and shape them into an S shape, pressing on them gently to flatten them slightly, and arrange them on a greased and floured cookie sheet. Bake then 15-20 minutes. Cool them on a rack, and they're done.
- Several Notes:
- Susamielli are dipping cookies, and come out quite hard -- a Neapolitan site says a prova di denti, which roughly translates as impervious to teeth.
- You'll want to dip them in either a sweet dessert wine, coffee, or a caffelatte.
- Sapienze, the Susamielli made by the nuns of the Convento della Sapienza, are dotted with whole almonds.
- Susamielli taste wonderful but eating them takes work, and because of this Neapolitans will call a serious, standoffish person who has a hard time socializing a Susamiello.
