What Youβll Need:
300 grams of all-purpose flour
3 eggs (approximately 157 grams)
30 grams of butter
20 grams of liquor (rum, Strega, or Amaretto)
A pinch of salt
20 grams of sugar
A pinch of baking powder
For the icing:
100 grams of icing sugar
2 tablespoons of water
Candied cherries
Colorful sugar sprinkles
In a bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, eggs, sugar, a pinch of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 20 grams of liquor (choose between rum, Strega, or Amaretto), and the grated zest of a lemon.
Work the ingredients until a compact dough forms. This can also be done using a stand mixer for convenience.
Once the dough is cohesive, take pieces and roll them into approximately 30 cm long cords. Wrap these cords around a finger, crossing them as shown in the video tutorial, and use the gap created by your finger to seal the ends. Place a finger in the center of each cookie and gently expand it to prevent the dough from shrinking back.
Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 170Β°C (338Β°F) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Prepare the icing by mixing the icing sugar with water. Dip the top of each cookie into the icing, then decorate with candied cherries and colorful sugar sprinkles.
Enjoy the magic of Befanaβs Ring Cake Cookies, where each bite brings a burst of joy and sweetness, making them the perfect addition to your Epiphany celebrations.
