Some dishes immediately have the power to evocate memories.. this is one of those. When I was a young kid my grandma used to make it when I visited her on the Adriatic coast. That was a great breakfast. My grandma used lard as an ingredient, I used butter and replaced half of the sugar with a whole brown one, making it darker, a bit healthier, and with a pleasant licorice taste.
It”s a quick and easy dish, I even cook it in the air fryer to do it faster!

Ingredients

• Melted butter 80 g
• Baking powder for cakes 16 g

2. Once you have obtained a homogeneous and compact dough, give it the shape of a loaf, then brush the surface with the milk, and finally garnish it with granulated sugar and the sugar grain.
