La Befana comes by night
with broken shoes
hat and skirt
is is the Epiphany.
Give a gift to the fireplace ...
when it makes a bell'inchino.
A tradition of the Upper Valdarno, which dates back to a time long ago, is to find the children along with socks too " puppet "and" horse ", the first for girls and boys for the horse. It can be found in all the bakeries and pastry shops, but I much prefer to prepare it at home, and then I had a helper fantastic, Martina was fun to decorate. The dough is simple, is prepared as the pastry and decorate with candies, sugar, and chocolate.
Serves 8 puppets
1 kg of flour 00
200 g sugar 200 g soft butter
5 eggs + 1 egg for brushing the rind
and the juice of an orange
glass of Vin Santo or a Rum
1 packet of yeast
chocolate chips, sugar, candy and whatever your imagination suggests to decorate.
Accendere il forno a 190 ° C .
Mettere la farina, lo zucchero, il lievito insieme al burro morbido nella planetaria e iniziare ad impastare aggiungendo la scorza dell'arancia, il succo, il liquore e per ultimo unire le uova.
Quando tutto sarà amalgamato bene, formare una palla e stenderla sulla spianatoia infarinata.
Ritagliare le fantocce aiutandosi con delle forme di cartoncino, stendere su una teglia rivestita di carta forno, spennellare con l'uovo sbattuto e decorare a piacere.
Bake for about 15 minutes taking care that it does not burn.
Happy Epiphany to all.
