Casadielles
Ingredients
- 400 g. Speltastur organic wholemeal spelt flour
- 150 gr. of white wine PDO Cangas Monasterio de Corias
- 200 gr. of walnuts
- 50 gr. of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 egg
- 4 teaspoons of aniseed
- 6 teaspoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of yeast
- Salt
- Sugar
- Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, egg yolk, Cangas Monasterio de Corias PDO white wine and salt. Stir until a uniform mixture is reached.
- Mix the Speltastur organic spelt flour with the yeast.
- The resulting mixture is dissolved in the bowl very gradually, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The final aim is to achieve a compact dough.
- To prevent the dough from becoming sticky, if it is still sticky after a while of kneading, we can add flour little by little to achieve more consistency.
- Wrap the ball in cling film and leave it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours.
- Prepare the filling for the casadielles while the dough is chilling.
- Peel, clean and chop the walnuts.
- Once chopped, put them in a bowl and add the aniseed, milk and a little sugar. Stir until a paste is formed.
- Once the two hours have passed, roll out the dough on a floured surface.
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut small portions of approximately 15x12.
- In each cut portion, add a small ball of filling and roll the dough as you would a pastry, closing the edges with a fork.
- To fry them, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan. It is very important to wait until the oil is hot before putting them in.
- Fry until golden brown, taking care not to burn them.
- Remove them to a plate with a napkin to absorb the oil and sprinkle sugar on top.
- Once they have cooled, serve them and enjoy their flavour and sweetness.
