Garibaldis ( Mexico )The Garibaldis , are some sweets in the shape of the hat. From the name it soon becomes clear that they are dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Garibaldis are prepared in the original version , the molds mini cup cakes . and so resemble the shape of a hat , similar to that worn by Garibaldi in his battles . In pictures instead , I propose my version : A cylinder. Why ? Simply, because I had available at that time a mold for mini cup cakes and I wanted to suggest another way to prepare these delicious treats. You will need a rectangular mold and a round cookie cutter of 3.5 cm or 4 cm. So , we see at once how to prepare :
