Brutti ma Buoni

Here is an Italian recipe, very very simple to make. Literally “brutti ma buoni”, means “ugly but good”! And it really is. But I finally find an aesthetic in this raw, almost mineral form. There are three ingredients here: sugar, hazelnuts and egg whites. The texture? Crunchy on top and soft inside. To be enjoyed with a strong espresso!

Instructions
 

  • Start by beating the egg whites until they are stiff.
  • When the whites begin to rise, gradually add the powdered sugar. Continue whisking until sugar is fully incorporated. We obtain a kind of soft meringue.
  • Mix the chopped and powdered hazelnuts.
  • Then pour into the meringue.
  • Mix by lifting the whole to avoid making fall back the whites.
  • Place the dough in a saucepan over low to medium heat.
  • While stirring constantly with a spoon, cook for ten to fifteen minutes.
  • The dough then begins to peel off.
  • And ends up not sticking to the pan anymore (well, almost, because it’s still sugar!).
  • Using two tablespoons, form mounds of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at .
  • Bake at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Then let cool on a rack.
  • The “brutti ma buoni” are well browned: crunchy on top and a little soft inside!
