Colussi baicoli biscuits
A small Italian biscuit originating from Venice, the baicolo (which means “small fish” in the Venetian dialect) has an unusual oval shape resembling that of sea bass (branzino)—and it is this similarity that gave it its name. Made mainly from wheat flour, sugar, butter, and oats, the dough must be left to rise twice (no more, no less). These mini biscuits are generally very dry and are therefore dipped in coffee or hot chocolate, enjoyed for dessert with a sip of liqueur, or eaten as an afternoon snack.
