ZALETI - Venetian Cornmeal Biscuits

This is a traditional kind of biscuits from my region, Veneto. Their name sounds slightly different depending on the area and the dialect: Zaeti, Zaleti, Xaeti....
These biscuits are prepared with simple and common ingredients, as the cornmeal (in Italian also called farina gialla) from which they take their name: Gialletti = Zaleti, small yellow things.

CAKE WITH WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR AND DRIED FRUIT

When I came across this recipe online I immediately took out scale, bowls and mixer.
Of course, I made some changes: I reduced some ingredients (butter, sugar) and added new ones.
But what I found really interesting is the procedure. There are some tips that I will certainly adopt also in the future.
