Procedimento
Scottare gr. 150 di mandorle e le noci in acqua in ebollizione, indi pelarle, tritarle e metterle ad asciugare in forno. Scottare gli altri gr. 50 di mandorle, pelarle e farle tostare bene in forno, poi tritare anch'esse. Versare tutto quanto sul tavolo di marmo. Tagliuzzare la frutta candita, unirla alla frutta secca, cospargerla con le spezie, il coriandolo e la cannella, ed unire gr. 150 di farina bianca mescolandola bene alla frutta. Versare lo zucchero in un 'polso-netto' (recipiente di rame non stagnato, con fondo concavo), porre il recipiente leave it on the stove and stirring until taking a bit of mixture between your fingers will form a hard ball. Then remove it from heat, pour over the fruit and, using your hands, incorporate it perfectly. When the mass is homogeneous to make it a big bread, flour your hands, give him a round and flat, about cm high. 2, place the gingerbread on a plate covered wafers (otherwise, once cooked will come off with hard work from the bottom), level by surrounding it with a circle of metal. Sprinkle with the 'dust', put it in the oven at low heat (150 degrees) for about 30 minutes. When it is cooked, remove it from the plate, cut the wafers coming out of the gingerbread and allow to cool. Remove parte del 'polverino' con una pennellessa e conservare il dolce in luogo asciutto.
