Lessinia: la Valle delle Sfingi

Lessinia: la Valle delle Sfingi

Che il foliage sia ormai un fenomeno inflazionato anche alle nostre latitudini lo si sa. Ma che a un’ora di strada da casa (la pianura veneta) si abbia la sensazione di essere in un posto comunque selvaggio non è comune al nostro sentire. Così, incuriositi da questo nome decisamente particolare, con poche cartine in rete e qualche descrizione (ottima quella che vi segnalo qui), parte una nostra…

Sfingi

Sfingi are little Sicilian donuts traditionally made on Christmas Eve.  They are served hot and rolled in cinnamon sugar.  You can dip them in vino cotto (wine syrup) if desired.  These little beauties cannot be made in advance, so gather your family and enjoy a special treat.  Recipe from Mom and Grandma Frances.

3 pounds of flour

1 cup Uncle Ben’s rice, cooked and cooled (you will have extra rice)

3 Tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 pounds of potatoes (about 3 potatoes)

3 Tablespoons instant yeast

4 Tablespoons anise seed (washed, cleaned and dried)

1 quart of milk

3 eggs

Canola Oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar (1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon)

1) Prepare anise seeds a day ahead:  Lightly clean and rinse anise seeds in water and dry on wax paper.

2) Cook rice according to package. Cool and set aside.

3)  Peel and cook potatoes until tender.  RESERVE THE WATER.   Remove potatoes and put through a ricer.  Set aside.

4) Time to make the donuts on Christmas Eve!!!

5)  Place milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until warm.  Do not overheat.

6)  In a large stainless steel bowl, add flour, sugar and anise seed.  Using your hand, blend ingredients.

7) Add potatoes, 1 cup of cooked rice  and yeast.  Using your hand, continue to blend ingredients.

8) Make a well in flour mixture, add beaten eggs.

9) Gradually add warm milk and begin combining wet and dry ingredients.

10) Knead dough by for about 10 minutes.

11) Cover and let rise until dough has doubled.

12)  Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 - 365 degrees.

13)  Drop dough by tablespoons into hot oil.  Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towel.  If oil is hot enough, Spingi will turn over without help.

14)  Roll spingi in cinnamon sugar and serve warm with vino cotto. (wine syrup).

Notes:  Ugh!  This recipe did not turn out.  Need to watch Mom make them.
