There is something wonderful in these yeast hearts, they are like a time machine for me, one bite and I am back in my grandmother's kitchen, helping her to knead the dough. Making these hearts seemed impossible to do when I was a child, I couldn't even imagine how they were made. At the time my grandmother seemed like a magician transforming shapeless pieces of dough into perfect hearts sparkling with sugar. She once showed me how to make them, which greatly fascinated me, and since that day I was always her little assistant in that "heart affair"
Now that I live very far from her, this is a way to keep her close. I also enjoy the bit of sweet nostalgia that fills the house with a smell of childhood and serenity that these hearts bring. The best thing about these hearts is that you can use anything as a filling, I usually use poppy seeds, cinnamon, or simply sugar, but you can try them with raisins, chocolate, jam, nuts, etc.
