There particularity of this dessert is that the soft balls they rise and cook directly in a panjoining together in single block. Finally they are served hot, with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. A delight, from which it is said, would originate the Neapolitan savory Danubio which differs for its rustic filling of cured meats and cheeses!
