  • About

If you do not know what a tondone is, ask Stenterello,36 as he eats it often and likes it very much.

Ingredients

  • 250 grams (about 8-⅘ ounces) of flour
  • 6 eggs

Method

Mix the flour with the water poured in a little at a time, and then salt. Put this mix into a skillet and fry it only with some butter, olive oil or lard. When it has firmed up on the bottom, use a dish to flip it over on the other side. Now you have a tondone.37

Now pound it in a mortar with the lemon peel, softening with the eggs
