Calabrese Easter Ginetti - Taralli Dolci di Pasqua (e67)

Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), demonstrates Ginetti - a Calabrese sweet, typically made for Easter and weddings. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- zest from 2 lemons
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of limoncello (Sambuca or vanilla extract)
- 3.5 cups of flour
Glaze
- 3 cups of icing sugar
- juice from 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
Although you can make the dough the traditional way, making ginetti is quite involved - after forming the ginetti, you have to boil them, score them, bake them and in the final step, glaze them. So, it is a good idea to lean on the support of an upright mixer if you have one.
Using a dough hook, at medium, mix all the ingredients except the flour. Then slowly, begin adding the flour. A dough will rather quickly form. Transfer the dough from the hook, to a dusted surface and knead briefly, just to pull the dough ball together.
Rest for about 30 minutes. The texture will be smooth and the consistency soft to the poke.
Begin rolling ropes about 6-7 inches long. You can of course make them longer / bigger, but Nonna suggests a more petite format. Besides looking cuter, a smaller portion is always helpful to the waistline and minimises guilt! :-)
Shape the ropes into circles and close the ends by pressing firmly. Then bring water to a boil, and add the ginetti. Within 2-3 minutes you will find that they float.
Remove and cool briefly, so that you can comfortably hold and cut the ginetti. Cut in at least half the way.
Bake in a preheated over at 400F for about 25 minutes. They will be quite light in weight once baked and will have a nice golden brown colour.
While cooling, make the glaze by simply mixing the sugar with the lemon. Nonna suggests you dip the ginetti right into the bowl and use a brush to more fully cover with the glaze. Add sprinkles if desired and allow time to set and enjoy!
Buon appetito! e Buona Pasqua!!

Wonderful! My mother made something very similar. Hers from the Lazio area were called biscotti scotolatti. They did not use sambuca or limoncello.
