When Your Daughter Dates A Black Guy

I know I'm out of time ...

... publish a recipe holiday season with several weeks of delay may not seem very appropriate. But how could I resist my eyes almost pleading mamy watching me? The mother can not say no ^ _ ^

You should know that my mamy is undoubtedly "a good fork" but for various health problems is forced to stay in strict diet. For this reason, when I make a cake for my try to stay light, using fewer eggs when possible and replacing the butter with the oil.

It 's a good fork and you can not really say who suffers from digestive problems ... I think I heard it only twice in my life say that he had not appetite o_0

moooooolto is especially tasty, everyone loves sweets, but especially nougat, chocolate, ... the ice cream and gingerbread.

Chat a few weeks ago:

- I have not seen the gingerbread house turn in this year

- Have you seen? I've been good this year I set and I did not buy

- But you know that in the blog sister I saw the recipe ? It looked fabulous ... I almost felt like to try it.

I know, maybe I'm wrong, but I swear that I have not done it on purpose ... after that conversation every time I came home was an implicit request make the gingerbread? After the gingerbread made by holy hands of his daughter can not do much harm to the mica ^___^ health

This weekend I decided, I went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients but I could not find all the necessary spices. In Clause unfortunately I have not found all the spices, you can not do, you are looking for in the Bologna I saw the desolate face of my mother and I said to myself that maybe I could even make a small tear to the recipe.

The recipe is an absolute guarantee, published by Edda here and tested by my sister ! With a pedigree so you can be sure that you can not go wrong ;-))

I write my own small changes in the way, I put the pistachios as suggested by Federica and reduced a bit 'the amount of candied melon. Finally, I have not toasted hazelnuts to remove the skins because I was afraid to let dry.

Panforte di Siena

Ingredients 120g peeled almonds 80g hazelnuts

(unpeeled)

50g unsalted pistachios (as indicated by Federica)

200g candied melon or pumpkin (150g of melon candy)

100g candied orange (I 70g)

50g candied citron (I 70g) flour 50g

3 teaspoons cinnamon

1 / 2 teaspoon
coffee black pepper 1 / 2 tsp coriander powder

1 / 2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 / 4 teaspoon ground cloves (I did not put)

100g honey or orange (I acacia)

150g sugar 1 sheet of wafer (I greaseproof paper)
sugar

Method Heat the honey and sugar over low heat until everything reaches the bring to boil and 120 ° C (check temperature with thermometer or, failing that, dip a bit 'of sugar in cold water: it should form a ball).
Pour the syrup over the mixture of -candied nuts and flour and mix the ingredients, mixing well (I have worked with their hands instead of using a spoon ... attention to burns!).
Pour the mixture into a mold or a circle with a low edge coated wafer (in the absence of parchment paper) and bake at 160 ° C hot oven for half an hour. Become more homogeneous but not darken. Cool well and sprinkle with plenty of sugar.

Unfortunately the photos are not that great because I had to photograph it was almost dark and haste. I've had tasted a little bit but my mother called me the next day to tell me that it was FA-VO-LO-SO and that he had already killed off half of it. My father gave me his confirmation ... and convinced my father is not an easy person to please, even just to say that is a very picky and very critical. So if he says it is good ... trust me, it's definitely buonissssssssssimo ^ __ ^

And of course the phone call ended with a we do it again next time? the next time I'll try to cut nuts, very roughly, the "grain" I found it slightly too big.
