Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking trays with baking paper.  Place the eggs and sugar in a glass bowl, whisk them together and set the bowl over a saucepan, heating gently over a bain-marie until the mixture thickens. 
 Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools, then add the orange zest and flour, folding gently. 
 Using a spoon, place the batter onto the baking tray, forming drops about 3 to 4 cm in diameter and spacing them apart. The mixture should make about 28 spoonfuls. Bake for about 8 minutes until golden. Leave to rest on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula and allow to cool completely. Take two biscuits and sandwich them together with Fiordifrutta Bitter Oranges in the centre. 
 Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie and use it to decorate the biscuits with a small piping bag. 
 Leave to rest before serving.

Ciao, mi chiamo Erika e vivo tra i monti, in Valle d’Aosta. Questo è il mio piccolo blog, con cui condivido i miei pasticci in cucina. Perché è bello avere un angolino in cui potersi esprimere liberamente, lasciando vagare i pensieri e i ricordi, mentre mani infarinate impastano… Come quando da bambina insieme alla nonna passavamo i pomeriggi, davanti a quella piccola stufa accesa, mentre fuori nevicava… E’ bello avere un angolino un po’ magico, che profuma di biscotti e di torta di mele. Un angolino che sa di casa… Benvenuti!
