Sezamo
Un desert tradițional românesc de toamnă, nostalgic și crocant. Jumătățile de prune proaspete și parfumate cu scorțișoară sunt îmbrăcate într-un aluat aerat, prăjite până la o crustă aurie și servite fierbinți cu zahăr pudră.
Preparation method
Preparing the aromatic fruit
Wash the fresh plums under cold running water and dry them well with paper towels. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the stones.
Place the plum halves cut-side up on a plate and dust them evenly with ground cinnamon, letting them sit for a few minutes to absorb the spice's aroma.
Preparing the fluffy batter
Separate the chicken eggs. In a bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Chef's tip
Choose plums that are ripe but still firm to the touch, so the fruit halves keep their appetising shape during frying.
For an even more intense flavour, you can mix the icing sugar for garnish with a little extra ground cinnamon or finely grated lemon zest.
