Interestingly enough, I actually have all the ingredients for the croquets in my pantry and garden RIGHT NOW, and am planning on giving this a try. I know what you mean about the Italian cantuccini being quite hard and am looking forward to seeing how these turn out. Thank you for sharing this recipe so beautifully!<br />JanineOlallieberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931661990979616570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-39004033133530125642013-08-11T23:20:00.344+01:002013-08-11T23:20:00.344+01:00Elizabeth,

I definitely plan to try this recipe. I did make your cherry strudel when I returned home from our visit, and my family loved it. I also purchased a bread-maker (for three dollars and 99 cents from Goodwill!)and made some delicious dinner rolls and homemade hamburger buns. The bread-maker was probably sold new in 1997, but it still had the written instructions and accompanying video--I don't think the previous owners had even touched it. I also found a yogurt maker at Goodwill (for $1.99) and have to say that the yogurt I made is really good. I've been adding a little bit of your raspberry jam to it and taking it to school for a snack during the day. I also found a recipe for scones and made a batch and took them to school for the staff. They were very popular! I found some clotted cream at a gourmet store and brought some jam to go along with it, too. Your wonderful cooking really inspired me! <br /><br />I have a blog post I need to edit and get up, but the weekend is almost over and I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow. All my love to you and your family. I hope all are well.

One of my oldest friends is Italian and I always loved going to her parents' an having a variety of almond based biscuits, but as I've aged I've found the rigidity of the cantucinni a little bit tooth-defying. I didn't know that there was a French version. Having time off school at the moment means that I've been in the kitchen more so I think these will have to be next on the 'experimental' list.

Will have to try with your quantities, though a little wary of the tooth-breaker qualities!
