Torcolo from Umbria

Here, in our part, this cake is an istitution, of which everyone has his personal perfect recipe! Reminds us of outr grandmothers, Who often prepared it, with the ingredients of the house, such as eggs always fresh and lard, and to give it the shape of a donut, they put a cup in the center of the mold! The name, so particular, comes from the oldest Torcolo of San Costanzo, so called because to work the dough you have to "twist" it with your hands. We prepared two variants, one traditional and the other two-tone, with the addition of bitter cocoa powder. To make it even more delicious, you can add chocolate chips to the dough.
A perfect dessert for breackfast, or for the snack of adult and children!
For the recipe we thank our friends Nicoletta!
