Happy Passover and Happy Easter. Hope your holidays are filled with family, friends, and joy! One of the Easter traditions in our home comes from my husband’s Italian grandmother, Loretta. Pupa con uova are colorful dyed Easter eggs nestled on dough then crossed with dough over the top. Some versions call for bread dough, but Loretta used sugar cookie dough and hers was the best in all the land. I’ve tried to match the texture and taste over the years, but mine simply doesn’t come close. Once the eggs in their baskets of dough are baked and cooled, then they are frosted. Loretta loved sweets, so this is the important part. I like to decorate ours with bright spring flowers. When the Easter table is set, each person is greeted with one on their plate. It’s a very special family tradition that we celebrate every Easter. I’m sure that Loretta’s great grandchildren will carry this on in their homes too. Thank you, Loretta. All our love and Happy Easter.
These are beautiful!
