This Italian dish is also popular in Argentina. They call it faina'
|
and it is sometimes prepared with onion slices as a topping. A plain
|
faina' slice is often used to top a pizza slice, sandwich-style.
|
|
Pour the water into a large heavy pan, then gradually stir in the
|
flour. Add salt to taste. Cook over gentle heat for 1 hour, stirring
|
frequently and skimming the surface with a slotted spoon
|
occasionally; the mixture should be smooth and quite thick.
|
|
Pour the mixture into an oiled roasting pan (preferably a pizza pan)
|
and level the surface. Sprinkle the oil over the surface, and arrange
|
the onion rings on top, if used.
|
|
Bake in a moderately hot oven (400 F / 200 C) for 30 minutes until
|
golden brown. Sprinkle liberally with pepper and serve immediately.
