These cornetti dolci are slightly sweet, light, and amazingly airy. They are wonderful filled with jam or dusted with powdered sugar, or both!
These cornetti are made with a laminated dough, similar to croissants. From what I understand, both cornetti and croissants have similar roots. Cornetti, besides being Italian and not French, typically tend to be slightly sweeter, have eggs in the dough, are a little fatter in the middle, and often are baked with fillings such as apricot jam, almond paste, or pastry cream.
