Ciambella

Today I wanted to make something basic, to eat at breakfast with a nice cup of tea....
To tell the truth in my area we deep ciambella in a glass of wine... But the shape of this dessert is different...

Ingredients

250 gr. /9 oz all purpose floor

130 gr. /4.5 oz Sugar

2 eggs

50 gr. /2 oz melted butter

1,3 / 4 fl oz. Milk

½ a bag baking powder

Grated zest of half a lemon.

Separate the yolks from the whites.

Beat the whites until stiff. Refrigerate them.

Pre-heat the oven 180°C/ 360°F.

In a bigger bowl, beat the yolks with the
sugar until they become a clear cream, add the floor sifted with the baking powder, then add the sugar and the grated zest.

Then add the milk and the melted butter, and stir well.

As a last ingredient add the stiff whites and stir in mixing from down to top.

Pour the dough in a silicone ring mould, place the mould on a oven tray and let it cook for 35/40 minutes.

Take it out the oven, test with a stick if ready and let it cool down.

Take it out the mould,  dust with icing sugar and serve with tea or caffelatte.
