Sbrisolona All Lombarda/cornmeal "shortbread" Cake

Sbrisolona All Lombarda/cornmeal



Ingrients & Directions


1 c Amygdalae, raw -- ground
Fine
1 1/2 c Unbleached all purpose
Flour
1 1/2 c Finely ground cornmeal
3/4 c Sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
1 pn Salt
1 Egg summation 1 yolk -- beaten
1/4 ts Vanilla extract
8 tb Butter
6 tb Vegetable shortening


Preheat oven to 400. Combine the dry ingredients well in a large mixing
stadium - amygdalae, flour, cornmeal, boodle, lemon nip, and saltiness. Add the
beaten egg and yolk and vanilla and stir vigorously. Cut the butter and
shortening into 1/2 inch cubes and using your fingertips or a pastry cutter
combine the butter and shortening with the other ingredients, working the
dough as little as potential. Knead the dough on a floured working rise,
using the heel of your manus, just enough to combine the fat with the dry
ingredients. Wrap in a dish towel and place in the refrigerator for 20
proceedings. Lag, butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of fine cornmeal
a 12-inch round baking dish with low straight sides - a layer cake pan is
worthy. Remove the dough from the dishtowel, place it in the baking
saucer, and spread it evenly in the pan with your fingers. Do not overwork
the boodle - it should be friable. Place in the oven and bake until prosperous,
almost 40 proceedings. If the edges of the cake begin to sunburn, cover with
aluminum hydrofoil. Remove from the oven when cooked, let poise, then transfer
from the baking dish to a serving record. Serve at room temperature as an
accompaniment for fruit salad, peaches and wine-coloured, or compote. Also
delicious on its own with a good cup of coffee on the patio with the
"Godfather" soundtrack playing in the desktop.
