Ingredients Yolks of three eggs
Directions "First stir with the ladle the yolks and the sugar until they become almost white, then add the wine.
Notes This recipe was taken from "The Italian Cook Book: the Art of Eating Well, Practical Recipes of the Italian Cuisine" by Mrs. Maria Gentile. It was published in the U.S. in 1919. For the entire copyright-free cookbook see www.archive.org.... P.S. At the turn of the 20th century spellings varied for this style of Italian custard -- they ranged from zabaglione, zabajone, sabayon and zabaione. Nowadays, it is generally spelled as "zabaglione." Also, the drink was generally served warm back then, but nowadays, it is often served at room temperature. Photo and notes: Mary Melfi. |
