Only recipe I can find for Anacini says "as much as plain flour as the mixture will need"

What does that mean - they say "until the mixture becomes an easy workable smooth dough" - but how do you know if you haven't added enough or added too much?

Do you have a better recipe?

Best Answer

Biscuits require 3:2:1 flour:liquid:fat. Cookies are 1:2:3 sugar:fat:flour. (from Michael Ruhlman's book Ratio)

I'm guessing based on the description you'll fall somewhere in the crack between there around 5 cups flour. However, you will simply need to develop the dough maker's intuition by trial and error. I'm guessing a strict cookie dough ratio will be too inelastic, but I've never had these "cookies"before, nor have I made any with wine in them. All the same I think that you'll be toward the cookie end of that ratio spectrum (biscuit v. cookie). Just be patient adding tablespoon by tablespoon.

I like my risotto to be quite runny, so I ladle out a few spoonfuls of the cooked rice from the pot for the arancini, before adding more stock and a large pat of butter to finish the dish. If the risotto is too soft, the arancini won't keep their shape and might fall apart when being fried.
