Flaons
Flaons are a type of pastry or traditional dessert originating from the island of Mallorca in Spain. They are typically made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with a sweet or savory filling, such as cheese, pumpkin, or sweetened quark cheese. Flaons are often enjoyed during Easter and other special occasions in Mallorcan cuisine.
Ingredients
- 1 pound puff pastry dough
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 1/2 pound sugar
- 1/2 pound grated cheese (such as Gruyere or cheddar)
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry dough on a floured surface and cut it into 8 equal-sized circles.
- In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, sugar, grated cheese, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each pastry circle.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to create a semi-circle shape, then crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush the tops of the Flaons with the beaten egg to give them a shiny finish.
- Place the Flaons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the Flaons to cool slightly before serving.
