TYPICAL SICILIAN BISCUITS

The typical Sicilian biscuits are a crunchy tale of history and dominations , where the Arab heritage blends with the mastery of ancient convent pastry shops.

They are not simple sweets, but real concentrates of territory: their soul is defined by the generous use of almond , with a pungent scent citrus fruits and with the aromatic touch of spices such as cinnamon And anise . Often characterized by a generous and rustic consistency, they vary from the soft and almost "marzipan" heart of dry pastries to the golden crunchiness of biscuits covered with sesame . Many of these creations were created to celebrate religious holidays, transforming humble ingredients like flour and sugar into long-lasting pastry jewels, perfect for dipping in local fortified wines.
