CIAMBELLE DI PASQUA

Directions

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with an electric wire until they are fluffy. Add the sugar and continue mixing for a while. Add the sunflower oil, lemon zest, vanillin, and half the flour. Mix well and then add the liqueur. We incorporate the rest of the flour and, when the dough becomes quite homogeneous, transfer it to a pastry board and work it well until we have a firm and homogeneous dough. Divide the dough into 6 parts, creating loaves and giving them the shape of loukuma. Put them in a preheated oven at 180°C for 4-5 minutes and then take them out to cut them on the side, all around, almost to the heart. This way they will puff up and open up while baking in the oven. Place in the oven and bake on the grill of the preheated oven in the air, at 180°C for 30 minutes. For the glaze, put about 1 glass of water with 3 tablespoons of sugar and boil on a low heat. When the sugar dissolves, spread the Ciambelle Di Pasqua after they have cooled.
