Sbrisolona is a typical Lombard and northern Italian dessert, especially from the Mantova area.
It is a crumbly cake made of crunchy crumbs made from cornmeal, sugar, lard, butter; covered in almonds!
A simple and poor dessert that has peasant origins; when in a moment, with some ingredients, simply shredding them together (from the Mantovian dialect "breeze" means crumbs), a tasty cake was created, hence the name "Sbrisolona"; which today is also commonly called Sbricciolata! (Shredded!)

- Desmenuzar la masa con los dedos y vertirla en la olla.
- Colocarla en el horno precalentado durante aproximadamente una hora.
- Retirar el pastel del horno, retírarlo de la olla y colocarlo en una fuente para servir, espolvoreándolo con azúcar glas.
- El ron es brandy de caña de azúcar. Los espíritus se obtienen por destilación de mostos fermentados de frutas o cereales: de esta forma se obtiene la concentración de alcohol etílico, contenido en una cantidad reducida en el fermentado.
Sift the white and yellow flour together, mixing them with the vanillin, then place them in a fountain on a pastry board.
Add sugar, lemon zest, chopped almonds, a pinch of salt and mix well.
Make the crater and place the softened butter into small pieces, the yolks and the liqueur.
Work the ingredients enough to mix them: you must obtain a not homogeneous but crumbled dough.
Grease the pot, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, then shake it to eliminate the superfluous.
Crumble the dough with your fingers and pour it into the pot.
Place in preheated oven for about an hour.
Remove the cake from the oven, remove it from the pot and place it on a serving dish, sprinkling it with icing sugar.
The rum is sugar cane brandy. The spirits are obtained by distillation of fermented musts of fruit or cereals: in this way the concentration of ethyl alcohol is obtained, contained in a reduced quantity in the fermented.
The original recipe has been published on my blog in Italian Il Mondo dei Dolci as a result of my several years of residence in that European country.
