Soft Apulian Almond Pastries is one of those recipes. The deliciousness of these dry pastries, found in every bakery in Apulia, is unparalleled, I assure you. I have always wanted to try making these sweets that I have always bought at a bakery in my city, Taranto, where, in my opinion, we find the best and softest dry pastries. The only downside of these pastries is their really high cost. So I thought, why not make them ourselves? After many attempts, I found the right recipe. I garnished them with almonds on top, but candied cherries are also used on these pastries. I prefer almonds. The recipe calls for equal amounts of sugar and almonds, but there's the option to increase or decrease the sugar by 20%. I increased it because the more sugar we add, the softer and longer-lasting our dry pastry will be. After many trials, I arrived at these quantities of ingredients, and I must say I'm really satisfied. A tip I give you is to let the pastries rest in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight before baking, and another tip is to let them cool well after baking before moving them. Once cold, you can consume them and store them in the fridge to make them last longer and keep them soft over time, although they will surely be gone in no time.
