Discover Chestnut Flour Pancakes Called Necci | Pasta Grannies
Busy granny Maria Letizia shows us how to make a speciality of the mountainous Garfagnana region of Tuscany. It’s chestnut flour pancakes called Necci.
That thick flour-and-water paste sizzzled between heavy irons reminds me of how altar breads are made. It would be very exciting to see some lovely suore on Pasta Grannies: they may not technically be grannies, but nuns in smaller monasteries can be great cooks and their food is seasoned with love.
We're not so far from there and we call them "Ciacci". We have some Chestnut celebrating events at the beginning of the fall, here around, because they had a huge importance during 2nd world war because it permitted mountain communities people to survive.
Just now this video popped up for me ?! what took it so long ? for a month and a half I've been watching your videos in Europe and bought some chestnut flour in Strasbourg/France. … 8 Euros for one kilo. Should last me a year or so until my next trip to Europe and hopefully during chestnut season to visit a festival or two and buy it from the source/mill and not a touristy city. I actually received some a few years ago from a friend of a friend in Italy, came from the mill of a family you actually made a video with them. I think I saved that video somewhere. I also use it to make crepes, but like to mix it with a bit of regular flour for softer crepes. Tasty just by themselves and very nutritious. Love those antique paddles and Maria Letizias' cheerful personality. 🙂

Smashing – it seems to me it's all about simple, quality ingredients:-)
There are only two things, I don't like at your videos: they are too short and you don't publish them daily 🙂
Their great, too bad chestnut flour costs like 15-16 euro /kg these days
I necci con la ricotta <3 .. delicious to kill!!
Dalla Pia a Sarzana farinata di ceci e necci con il raviggiolo e la salsiccia.
Buone!
