Hazelnuts: Recipe for baci di dama (lady kisses) made at home with our Ligurian hazelnut spread.
Baci di dama originated in Piedmont, but they're now found everywhere. With our recipe, you can make them at home with our Ligurian hazelnut spread.
INGREDIENTS:
100 g 00 flour 100 g de-oiled hazelnut flour, 90 g sugar 120 g butter A pinch of salt and Il Parodi hazelnut spread
METHOD:
Mix the soft butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt by hand (or in a stand mixer) until smooth and creamy.
Then we add the “00” flour, the hazelnut flour and mix everything until we obtain a compact mixture which we leave to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once the dough is ready, create balls of about 7/8 grams each and let them rest for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Transfer the biscuits to a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for about 20 minutes in a static oven at 160°.
Once baked and cooled, we fill them with half a teaspoon of hazelnut spread and join the two biscuit hemispheres.
Let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes so that the hazelnut cream can firm up.
These biscuits, if stored at room temperature
in an airtight box or tin, they can keep for 2/3 days.
