Ingredients
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (355°F).
- Proceed to coarsely chop the walnuts and place them into a spacious bowl. Combine the 4½ cups of flour, baking powder, powdered sugar, spices, and candied fruits in this same bowl alongside the walnuts. Thoroughly mix these ingredients using either your hands or a spatula, ensuring they are well incorporated.
- Put this mixture aside for the moment and let's move on to preparing the sugar syrup. Take a medium-sized pan and pour in the water. Gradually add the sugar to the water. Turn on the heat to low and begin stirring the mixture frequently. Your aim is to melt the sugar completely. Once all the sugar has melted, which should take about 5 minutes, go ahead and turn off the heat promptly.
- Drizzle the prepared sugar syrup over the other ingredients in the bowl. Utilize a spoon or another utensil to thoroughly mix everything together until a sticky ball of dough forms.
- Next, generously sprinkle some additional flour onto a cutting board. Take portions of the dough and shape them into small balls. Roll these balls in the flour until they are fully coated. Gently press each ball with your palm to flatten them into thick disks. Arrange these flattened disks on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper.
- Place the Cavallucci in the preheated oven and bake them for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
