Befanini
Befanini

In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs with 300 grams of granulated sugar, then add 500 grams of white flour, 200 grams of softened butter, 100 grams of vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together with half a glass of liqueur and half a glass of milk (needed to soften the dough).

Add the grated zest of a lemon, a sachet of baking powder and let the dough rest for half an hour in the refrigerator.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut out the Befanini using the molds you prefer, leaving room for your imagination! Brush the biscuits with a beaten egg and cover them with colored candies.

Cook the Befanini in an oven pre-heated to 180 degrees, for about 15 minutes: remove them when they become golden.
