Unique and quick preparation of the sfincia.
The Sagra della Sfincia di Montelepre is an annual event celebrating the traditional Montelepre sweet treat, sfincia, made with simple ingredients like water and flour, sugar, honey, and cinnamon. The sfincia is worked quickly in a pot and then poured into a wooden platform called "scanaturi" to form small sfince in the shape of a bow.
