Curiosity

This is a versatile recipe and lends itself to many variations. If you want an Italian touch, you can add grated organic lemon zest or toasted and chopped almonds to our recipe for a crunchy touch. And to stay on theme with Italian sweets, why not try adding a bit of cold espresso to the batter for a bolder taste?
