Pan Meino
Pan meino, or pan de mej, is a Lombard cornmeal sweet scented with elderflower and lemon. The small rustic cakes bake with a sandy golden crumb and a powdered sugar finish, making them more like tender corn cookies than a soft layer cake.

Cream butter and sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg and lemon zest.
Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and dried elderflowers together in a separate bowl.
Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture, adding milk until a soft dough forms.
Shape into small flattened rounds and arrange on a lined baking sheet.
Bake until the edges are golden and the centers are set, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
