fedde (del cancelliere)

/FEHD-deh/
[Italian]

"Chancellor's buttocks." Pastries originally made with marzipan with a filling of apricot jam and custard. The filling oozes out along the join. These were made by the aristocratic nuns of the Cistercian Convent of Santa Trinità del Cancelliere. These days fedde are rounded patties of semolina dough with a filling of blancomangiare and pistachios, dipped in flour and egg and fried and rolled in sugar and cinnamon.
