Dish

Cornuelle

Cornuelle is made with a combination of flour, butter, sugar, and almond paste. The dough is mixed together and then rolled out before being cut into small circles. The circles are then filled with the almond paste and folded over to create a half-moon shape. The pastries are then baked in the oven until golden brown.
