Sbrisolona: Traditional crunchy tart from Italy

This tasty dessert was made back in the 16th century, and was started by poor families who couldn't afford the expensive treats.  This dessert is usually eaten with your hands even though it can get a little messy.  The royal and important families also made this dish because it tasted so good, and they added some expensive spices and things to make it suitable for them. An interesting fact on Sbrisolona is that it is also called "the tart of three cups" because the main ingredients are using 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 cup of wheat flour, and 1 cup of sugar.


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ lb all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ lb butter
  • 1 lb granulated sugar
  • 4 oz egg yolks
  • ½ oz baking powder
  • lemon zest, grated
  • 1 ¾ oz almonds
  •  lb cornmeal
Those are the ingredients to making Sbrisolona from www.academiabarilla.com

I know that this is a credible source because it goes through each step (with a picture) of making the tart.  Also i think this is a modern source because it has icons for twitter and facebook and things to "like" the page.  However I am not sure about the author or the date for sure.  

Along with the other website they also go step by step with the researcher to show them how to make the dessert, and it was posted in 2007 so the information is recent.

  1. This point made me realize how the desert was made for the poor but it was so good the rich made it too. It made me realize it because no matter how much money you had you could eat it.
