Panforte
300 gr. flour
300 gr. sugar
300 gr. water
25 gr. whole almonds
25 gr. crushed almonds
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 nutmeg, grated
200 gr. dried orange in small pieces (in Italy these are called canditi)
200 gr. dried lime in small pieces
But water to boil. Once it boils add sugar, almonds (both whole
and crushed), nutmeg, and let boil for five minutes. Then add dried
fruit, and let boil another five minutes. Then add slowly the flour
while stirring, until it is well mixed, and you get a good dough.
Pour into a baking dish (preferably round). Before this, you must
put an "ostia" in the dish (a thin layer of unleavened bread, like
the one you get for Communion in church). After you have poured
the dough, cover with powdered sugar. Before serving let cool, it
must be at room temperature.
