€5-12“Foglie di tè” Biscuits from Zafferana Etnea in Catania
“Foglie di tè” are thin, dry biscuits with an elongated, slightly curved shape that resembles a small leaf. Their texture is crumbly and light, designed to accompany hot drinks such as tea, milk, or coffee without being overly sweet. The dough is usually simple, made with flour, sugar, eggs, and sometimes local Etna honey, an ingredient for which Zafferana is particularly well known. The result is a light, everyday biscuit that belongs more to home baking traditions than to elaborate pastry making.
