Hello Francie. I’ve been trying to do a Cartellate video with my SIL mother. They’re from Molfetta and very common in their area. Thank you so much for watching. 💕

Love listening to you describe recipes and tell a few stories. It’s like you’re my auntie showing me how to make things. Cheers.

Heard them called Wanda’s or Guanita’s. Always iced with a darker pink frosting where I live, frequently served at the weddings of Italian and Sicilian folks, in the shape of flowing ribbons. Delicious!

Two questions, if I’m using only white wine, because I can’t find the other alcohol that you mentioned, do I add lemon zest to that, and if so, how much? Also, do you use salted or unsalted butter? Thank you very much! I know this was three years ago so I’m going to have to hunt down the 12 days of cookies! 🎄

Thank you. Just proceed with only the white wine. Happy baking, it was so much fun doin the 12 days of Christmas. Did you like the intro?

Alessandra I made your recipe for Wandies the other day and my dough came out too loose. I had to add a lot more flour. I followed your directions and was wondering what I did wrong. I used large eggs, but they seemed larger to me. They still came out very good and crispy. A BLESSED MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND A HEALTHY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Antoinette, Maybe the eggs? Glad you fixed it by adding the flour. I feel terrible when things like this happen. Maybe use a little less of the wine. Baking really comes done to a science. Not always easy. Thank you for watching my channel. I’m extremely honored to share my recipes with people like you. God bless. Buon Natale to you too and family.
