Nuccia, I saw in an old gente post that you had a recipe for Scaliddi (Calabrian cookies that look like ladders). Can you post the recipe when you get a chance? Maybe I will be inspired for Christmas.

I won't have time to do it until the week end. Hopefully it will not be a disaster in the making!

Ok so I finally went to my mother's and got the recipe for you. This was my Grandmother Caterina Fuda's recipe and she taught my mom how to make these over 50 years ago. We made them on the weekend and they taste better each year..lol
Code:: |
8 uova 8 eggs
3 onze di olio 3 oz. oil
10 once di zucchero 10 oz. sugar
2 bustine di lievito 2 pkg of yeast
farina quando ne prende flour as needed
8 onze di latte caldo 8 oz warm milk
Oil for frying
Honey
Candy Sprinkles
Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar and allow it to activate until creamy. Make a well with flour and add in all the other ingredients. Work well and add flour as needed until it forms a stiff dough.
Cut dough in strips and roll out.
Form ladders. (My mom uses the end of a wooden spoon). She wraps the dough around it a few times, then forms a circle and slides them off. She uses a bit of egg to pinch the ends closed and puts them on clean towels (lint free) to rise.
Allow to rise two or more hours. (My grandmother actually used to let them rise overnight but my mother says she doesn't have the time for that anymore).
Fry them in hot oil until light golden brown. Remove from oil and put on a plate. *
*Note: You could eat them just like this if you wanted.
Melt honey with a bit of water in a large pan until it foams. This helps from burning the honey and lets the honey stick better. Coat the cookies in the honey using a large wooden spoon , remove, place on large plate and sprinkle with candies
|
You can vary the recipe by adding some lemon zest or liquor(Vermouth) to it as well. Do not keep them in an airtight container or all the honey will drip off. Instead keep them on a large serving plate

Hi Jay! Welcome! I'm glad you like the site and hope you will visit often. Definitely give these a try and tell me what you think. I think it important to keep our parents traditions alive - if not for ourselves then for the next generation.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

I had these in Calabria as a breakfast treat without the honey but coated in granulated sugar.
