Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 7 oz lard
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 lemon zest (optional)
- 2 cups water
- 5 1/4 oz semolina
- 5 1/4 oz ricotta
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 oz candied fruits (citron and orange)
- 1 egg
- 1 packet vanillin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
Steps
Prepare the shortcrust pastry by hand or with a mixer.
Pour the flour on the work surface creating a well, add eggs, sugar, honey, salt, lard, and mix. Form into a dough ball and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Put the water in a saucepan with a pinch of salt on the stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the semolina, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and let it cool.
Preheat the oven to 392°F
In a bowl, mix the ricotta with sugar, candied fruits, egg, and semolina.
If the candied fruits are too large, chop them with a food processor using some sugar to prevent them from sticking to the blades.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on the work surface to a thickness of about 0.12 inches using a 2.75-inch cookie cutter. The pastry is very crumbly and tends to crack.
Place the filling in the center, about a tablespoon, cover gently with another pastry disc without pressing too much, and place the frolle on baking paper.
Brush the frolle with an egg yolk.
Bake, lower the temperature to 356°F, and cook for about 15 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar.
Bon appétit
