Bussolà di Burano in Venice

Bussolà di Burano is a traditional dry dessert from the island of Burano (Venice), known for its distinctive ring or “S” shape. It is made with simple yet rich ingredients: eggs, butter, sugar, and flour, with no yeast. Its texture is crumbly yet firm, and the intense flavor of butter and eggs makes it ideal to enjoy on its own or paired with sweet wine.
