The beginning of autumn in Catania revolves around the preparation of a series of long-standing traditional sweets linked to All Saints' Day, also called the \"Feast of the Dead.\" Many specialties that by tradition represented the gift that the deceased gave on November 2nd to children, to thank them for their visit to the cemetery on November 1st, and which today fill cafes, bakeries and shops across the province from the end of September until well into December. The biscuits I talk about today, like many sweets associated with this period, were originally poor sweets made with leftover bread dough, just like their counterparts the bersaglieri, and had a dry, not very tasty dough which, once baked, was enriched with a generous lemon glaze. Children would nibble off all the glaze and leave the cookie behind, earning a scolding from the adults. Today times have changed and a sweet, besides being sweet, must also be good; the recipe has been significantly modified, transforming the regina biscuits and the bersaglieri biscuits into very soft glazed sweets that melt in your mouth and have a delicate flavor. Let's go into the kitchen and prepare the regina biscuits (not to be confused with the sesame-covered reginelle with a similar dough). As always, if you want to stay updated on all my recipes you can follow my Facebook page (here) and my Instagram profile (here).
