Instructions
To prepare the Emiliane Ravioli, start by sifting the flour and baking powder through a fine sieve. Place the sifted dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the softened butter, followed by the sugar. Mix until the ingredients combine, forming a sandy texture.
Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly until the dough begins to come together. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth and uniform.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for a minute. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours to allow the dough to firm up and develop flavor.
Once the resting time has passed, remove the dough from the refrigerator and give it a quick knead. Roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 4-5 mm (approximately 0.2 inches).
Using a fluted round cutter (about 10 cm in diameter), cut out circles from the dough. Place a spoonful of Bolognese mustard (around 1 tablespoon) in the center of each dough circle.
Carefully fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together gently to seal the ravioli. Brush the tops of the ravioli with a small amount of milk to help them brown during baking.
Generously dust the surface with sugar, adding a sweet finishing touch. Preheat your oven to 170ยฐC (340ยฐF) in static mode. Arrange the ravioli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the center of the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.
Once baked, allow the ravioli to cool. For an extra indulgent touch, you can brush them with Alchermes liqueur, giving them a lovely color and flavor. Simply brush the surface lightly with the liqueur before serving.
Your Raviole Emiliane are now ready to be enjoyed! These delicious, sweet-filled pastries are perfect for any special occasion or as a delightful treat to share with friends and family.

Pro Tips for Perfect Raviole Emiliane:
- Resting the dough is essential for the best texture and flavor. Donโt skip this step!
- Customize the filling: If you want to change the flavor, you can replace the Bolognese mustard with other sweet or savory fillings like fruit jams or chocolate.
- If you prefer a more intense color and flavor, you can soak the ravioli in Alchermes liqueur after baking. This step adds a burst of vibrant red and an extra layer of flavor.
These Raviole Emiliane are the perfect Italian treat to add to your dessert repertoire. The combination of rich buttery dough with the tangy and sweet mustard filling creates an unforgettable taste experience!
