BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Italian Food Recipe Question

Thanks for pointing this out.

Hello, Can you tell me if you have ever heard of and possibly have a recipe for Tordinis an italian dessert that I picked up from my great grandmother but can not seem to find a recipe for online or even mention of the dessert. Its a deep fried tough "cookie" that is served around Christmas time. Grandma called it a cookie, but I think after searching for it that it might be a sort of tough Calabrase fritter. After the dough is made it is rolled out and stripped out into 1 inch by two inch strips and then rolled up like a mini croissant. They should be the size of a ring finger before frying. The dough is made with marsala wine. After they are fried they are put into maple syrup to soak up all of its yummyness. Their fantastic and I know the technique but I have lost the dough recipe.

can someone let me know if panforte can be frozen at all , thank you ?

I was thinking of making mascarpone. Most of the recipes are similar. A question though; some of the recipes say not to use ultra pasteurized heavy cream. I could not find cream that did not say ultra pasteurized. Does it make a difference? I also read your article.

In the US it's hard not to find ultra pasteurized cream. Go ahead and use what you can buy locally.
