Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Napolitaines are the pink biscuits of Mauritius: two rounds of plain butter shortbread sandwiched with jam and dipped in a bright pink sugar glaze. They sit on every bakery counter and on every table at weddings, Eid, Christmas and Divali, and they go with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Despite the name, nobody in Naples has heard of them; they are a Mauritian invention.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 10 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
