Ingredients
Ingredients
100g Polenta
500g Milk
35g Plain Flour
50g Butter
7g Baking Powder
2 Medium Eggs
100g Caster Sugar
100g Raisins
3 Tablespoons Amaretto
50g Pine Nuts
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Zest of 1 Lemon
Method
Soak the raisins in the Amaretto overnight, or microwave them together for 20 seconds and leave to stand for 20 minutes.
Heat the milk, sugar, vanilla and butter in a pan until it comes to a simmer.
Whisk in the polenta, then add the flour. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes until thick and smooth.
Transfer the polenta mixture to a stand mixer or bowl and beat until it has cooled slightly — if it’s too hot when you add the eggs, they will scramble.
Beat in the eggs until smooth, then add the lemon zest, pine nuts, soaked raisins and baking powder.
Scoop mounds of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 180°C (Fan) for 25 minutes, or until golden.
Dust with icing sugar once cooled.
