How to make the ciambella bolognese:
Reserving 1 tbs. flour, mix the flour with the confectioner's sugar,
vanilla, grated lemon rind and a pinch of salt. Dissolve the baking soda
and cream of tartar in 2-3 tbs. of milk. Melt 5 oz. butter in a
saucepan. Add 2 egg yolks, 1 egg white, the liqueur, baking soda and
cream of tartar to the flour. Add the butter and knead till smooth. Roll
the dough into the shape of a large sausage to fit a 12-in. ring mold.
Butter a ring mold and dust with the flour. Shape the dough into the
ring and pinch the two ends together. Brush the top with the remaining
egg yolk, dust with granulated sugar, and place almonds on top. Bake at
350°F for about 30 mins, let cool and remove ciambella from mold.
Serve.
