This classic Venetian biscuits are made with cornflour and are great for summer afternoon snack served with fruit liquor or white wine. “Zaleti” name comes from the Venetian word for yellow. The golden hue of the cornflour used gives the name of the biscuits.
You can make them with dark chocolate chips, raisins and nuts of choice. The classic asks for raisins, but we have made them today with dark chocolate and pistachios.
The cornflour makes the biscuits colour yellow and shiny – perfect for the summer leisure time.
Tip:
- After rolling the dough in tubes, just cut and place the pieces over the baking tray. Do not roll to make the perfect ball if you want to get this attractive form.
- Double the quantities and freeze the half. When needed, let unfreeze and bake.
Enjoy!
