What is Sbatudin?
Sbatudin, known and appreciated for its deliciousness and restorative quality, originates from an ancient recipe based on eggs, sugar, and Marsala, ideal both as a dessert and for breakfast.
The dessert, humble in origin but tasty and nutritious, is a typical element of the region’s gastronomic tradition, capable with its enveloping and gentle flavor of awakening pleasant childhood memories for many Veneto people.

The name sbatudin refers to the act of vigorously beating the egg yolk with the sugar.
Ingredients for one person:
- 1 fresh egg, preferably organic
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of coffee, Marsala, or rum
variants: coffee, rum, Marsala, egg whites
Preparation:
1. Vigorously beat the egg yolk with the sugar until you obtain a mixture with a soft and light consistency in which the granular texture of the sugar is not felt.

In some cases, the yolk and egg white are beaten together with the sugar; according to other variants, the egg white is whipped separately and then added to the yolk and sugar mixture to make it frothier.
