Myles Anton, chef at Trattoria Stella in Traverse City, shares his recipe for the Italian holiday dessert Apostles' Fingers.
Ingredients
Filling:
1-1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Omelets:
8 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Topping:
2 teaspoons confectioner's sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation
For the filling:
Combine the ricotta and confectioner's sugar.
Press the mixture through a strainer into a bowl.
Stir in the cocoa and cinnamon.
For the omelets:
Beat the eggs with the vanilla and salt.
Heat a little of the oil in a 8-inch nonstick skillet.
When the pan is hot, pour in enough of the batter to cover the bottom of the pan.
Swirl the batter around quickly to form a thin pancake.
Once set, turn it over and cook the other side briefly.
Slide omelet onto a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
To assemble:
Place 2 tablespoons of the filling on each warm omelet and roll up.
Combine topping ingredients and sift over the tops and serve.
