QUICK PUGLIAN EASTER SCARCELLA sweet scented with lemon, simple to make, no rising required, typical recipe with egg, braided sweet.
A dessert I didn’t know, a Puglian recipe for Easter that I recommend trying for its simplicity and flavor, the Easter scarcella is easy, quick, and very good!
In addition to being aesthetically beautiful, it’s a simple sweet to make, soft shortcrust pastry scented with lemon, quickly made, and finished with a simple glaze and colorful sprinkles..
The beautiful Easter scarcella or also known as Cuddura will make a fine impression on the table.
A reader of mine, Angela, left me a couple of notes about this recipe that I am happy to add: “they are put on the table on Easter day as a centerpiece and then, alas, consumed at the end of the meal, by breaking them.”
With these quantities, you can make 3 scarcelle. I made 2, one large, the one in the photo, and a smaller one, so you’ll need 3 whole eggs for decoration.. Thank you, Angela

- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very cheap
- Preparation time: 30 Minutes
- Portions: 3
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- Half packet baking powder
- lemon zest
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg white
- 2 eggs
- lemon juice
Preparation
Sift the flour with the baking powder, place it in a mound on the work surface, add the sugar and lemon zest.
Add the oil, the egg, and the milk a little at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough for about ten minutes.
Divide the dough into cylinders and braid them to form the scarcella, close into a ring, and then place the egg with its shell in the center.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until the scarcella is cooked and golden, about 40 minutes.
Let it cool on a rack..
Prepare the glaze, place in the mixer, the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and the egg white and mix.
The coating should be light, so it’s best to add the powdered sugar a little at a time, but I liked it whiter.
Cover with colorful sprinkles.
Bon appétit..
