ZALLETTI (ITALY)
These rustic cornmeal cookies get their name from the
Venetian word zálo, meaning "yellow." They are usually flavored with
lemon zest, garnished with rum-soaked raisins, and while traditionally made
unsweetened, some grappa is often added to the dough.
Zaletti are perfect for dipping into milk, tea or coffee,
making them a popular breakfast choice in Venice, but they're also often
enjoyed as an after-dinner snack paired with a glass of sweet wine like Vin
Santo.
