Preparation

Pour the flour on the pastry board and make a well in the centre. Add sugar, eggs, and softened butter.

Work the dough until it becomes smooth and soft, then wrap it in a napkin and let it rest.

In the meantime, prepare the filling: beat the eggs in a bowl and add the grated Pecorino Toscano PDO, sugar, lemon peel, and vanilla.

Roll out the dough with the rolling pin until getting a thin layer.

Cut some little discs and put two teaspoons of filling on each one. Bend the discs in a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork.

Brush each disc surface with beaten yolk and bake the fiadoni at 180°C for about 30 minutes.

Remove the fiadoni from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Garnish them with honey or powdered sugar, then serve warm.
