Mangia Con Elena

  Ciambelline al Vino/Wine and Anise Donuts IG: @mangia.con.elena Ciambelline al vino is a classic Italian dolci originating from the Lazio region. You would find them at almost every bakery and cafe/bar in Rome and surrounding cities and villages. They are made with simple ingredients of flour, olive oil, sugar, dry white wine and anise seeds. They  are a bit hard and crunchy on the outside which makes them perfect for dunking into wine as a dessert or into your coffee or espresso! As children we would dunk them into our caffe latte in the mornings or as a  mid afternoon snack dunked into milk! They make an appearance at every special Italian celebration and were always available in our house for pop in afternoon guests. My mother would freeze them in freezer bags and just pull them out as she needed them. There might have been a few times that she was disappointed because the bag sat empty in the freezer as we would sneak in and eat them! Cominciamo! Ingredients 4-5 cups of all purpo
