THE DRESS OF HARLEQUIN
To make a dress to Harlequin
we put a patch Meneghino,
put it another Pulcinella,
a Gianduja, a Brighella.
pants, old louse
us put a tear on his knee, and
Stenterello, off hand,
few hints of Tuscan wine.
Columbine who sewed
made a dress so tight.
Harlequin put the same
but there was a little puzzled.
Quoth Balanzone
Bolognese dottorone:
- and I assure you I swear
you will be fine the next month
if you keep my recipe:
fasting one day and one bill.
(G. Rodari)
HARLEQUIN CAKE
Ingredients
300 g flour 100 g potato starch
220 g sugar 100 ml milk 140 g butter
temperature
4 medium eggs 1 vanilla bean 1 tablespoon baking
zest of 2 lemons / oranges
food coloring powder
Preparation
begin to put in the bowl of electric mixer: sugar, softened butter (an ointment) and vanilla bean. Far mix, then add the eggs one at a time.
When we got a creamy consistency, stirring constantly add the grated lemon and orange. Add flour, baking powder and potato starch previously sifted and mix well. Then pour the milk in the dough at room temperature.
Divide the dough equally into four bowls; lasciatene with a mixture of nature and in the other three add a touch of food coloring in a different color. I used such as the yellow dye, blue and green.
Grease and flour a cake pan, Put a spoonful of dough in the center, then superimpose another tablespoon of mixture of another color over the first, then another, and proceed by placing a spoonful of the mixture over each other to finish their colored bodies. As we proceed with the colors of the dough is going to expand to cover the entire diameter of the cake.
Bake at 180 degrees for 50/60 minutes, until, by introducing a stick, they will not be dry.
Cool the cake, remove from the mold and brush with water and sugar (1 to 3) and sprinkle with colored balls and tails. Finally, do the decorations in pasta sugar as you can see from the photo.
