Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the flour mixture

    Put the wheat flour and sugar in a bowl. Gradually add up to 500 ml of the grape must and mix; then whisk until completely smooth.

  2. 02

    Cook the pelamushi

    Pour the remaining grape must into a deep pot. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring well. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring continuously; lower the heat and keep stirring for 8–10 minutes, until thickened. Check that it no longer tastes of flour.
