CIAMBELLONE Ciambellone is a cross between a cake and a bread, with a nice texture well suited to be served at breakfast or with coffee. The smell of a baking ciambellone is said to turn a scowl into a smile. 4 cups flour3 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla1 cup sugar1 cup milk1 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 cup oil1 teaspoon baking powderzest from 1 lemon, finely choppedgarnish: milk, coarsely granulated sugar Make a mound with the flour on a board, creating a well in the center. Using your fingers, begin alternating the liquid and other dry ingredients into the well, mixing until all the ingredients are combined, adding additional flour as needed and kneading to make a smooth dough.
