PUZICI (SNAILS)
2 sticks butter
2- 2 1/4 cups flour
1 tbls. sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tbls. milk
2 tsp. baking powder
Mix everything together to form a nice soft dough. Kneed slightly. Divide into 2 ( I divide into 3).
Roll each out as you would for a stroudel about 1/8" thick.
Filling
3 extra large egg whites
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups finely ground walnuts
1 sq. chocolate grated
little rum
at least 1 tsp. cinammon or to taste
Beat egg whites stiff with the sugar. Fold in the rest of the ingredients.
Spread over the dough & roll up. Slice into 1/2" slices. Place sliced side down & bake till lightly brown. Place on racks to cool & then sift with icing sugar.
These smell wonderful when baking. I always grind the nuts in a cheese grater so that they are fresh & I always use unsalted butter. do not grate the nuts in a food processor as they become to oily.
