Pandolce

pahn-DOLE-cheh
Literally translated, "sweet bread." Pandolce is a Genoese sweet very similar to Milanese Panettone, but denser. Like Panettone, it is a traditional Christmas dessert. The batter for pandolce is made of eggs, butter, sugar and flour, enriched by candied fruit and pine nuts, and perfumed with fennel or anise seeds and orange flower water.
