ciarduna
crispy curled almond wafter shells
Sicilians are the masters of creating pastry orifices to fill with sweet creamy ricotta and the ilk: besides cannoli and cartocci, they make these almond wafers and bake them curled around metal tubes.
Sometimes ciarduna are rolled in ground nuts before being baked, then filled with a mascarpone or ricotta based filling.
