INGREDIENTS 2 eggs 300 gr flour
300 gr sugar 200 gr almonds
almond flavoring 1 vial
cinnamon
1 / 2 teaspoon of baking soda
40 g butter
grated rind of 1 lemon
PROCEDURE
Beat eggs with sugar and mount them well, add the grated lemon peel, cinnamon and melted butter and cooled. Chopped almonds. You can also use a knife but they must be chopped very fine. Homogenize and stirring add the flour, baking soda, almonds, and the tube. When the dough is smooth and a little 'appicicoso, formed into balls, which you can crush a bit' or give it an oval shape as that of the beans. Arrange on a baking sheet well spaced and cook for about 20 min to 155 ° C.
I advise you to accompany the beans with a good Tuscan Vin Santo, or if you are more "smielosi, a Zibibbo of Sicily ...
CURIOSITY '
The origin of this dessert is related to the use of centuries old, at least in some parts of Italy, as in the Marches, to consume the beans " snacks "that took place between the relatives of the deceased immediately after the funeral.
According to ancient tradition, the beans were a means of direct communication between the Hades - the world of the dead, physically located in the depths of Earth - and the world of the living. This is probably explained by the flower color, which is white spotted with black. Black, a symbol of mystery, it is very rare among the plants. The spots also seem to be in the shape of "tau" Greek, the first letter of "Thanatos" meaning death.
were considered able to transfer in living souls of the dead: for this reason - for their right to be, that is, the link between the dead and alive - they were present in the funeral ceremonies in Greece, Egypt, Rome and even in India and Peru.
In this way, the "beans of the dead," constituted a sort of unconscious communion between the living and the dead and almost a physical exchange between the earthly world and the dead ...
