Beccute: A Scent of Countryside in Every Bite

Ingredients

  • 8.3 oz Cornstarch
  • 1.7 oz Raisins
  • 1.7 oz Pine nuts
  • 1.7 oz Walnuts
  • 1.7 oz Almonds
  • 1.7 oz fichi secchi
  • 1.7 oz Sugar
  • to taste oil
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the raisins in warm water for about half an hour.

  2. 2

    Blanch the almonds and walnuts in boiling water, then peel them and finely chop them; also chop the dried figs.

  3. 3

    Place the yellow corn flour on a work surface and form a mound, add a few tablespoons of olive oil, the well-drained raisins, the pine nuts, a tablespoon and a half of sugar, and a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Mix the dough, adding boiling water gradually until you get a rather soft mixture.

  5. 5

    Knead the dough well and form small, flattened cakes, place them on a previously oiled baking sheet, and bake in a preheated oven at 150°.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 45 minutes and then remove from the oven. Let cool and serve cold. These are very rustic cookies.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserves.

I hope this recipe has inspired you to create these rustic cookies, capturing the essence of the countryside in every bite. They're perfect for those who appreciate a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors, as every good table deserves.
