Short description
This fluted pastry contrasts a dark, chewy shell with a soft custardy middle.
Ingredients
A milk-and-egg batter flavored with rum and vanilla bakes in fluted molds until the outside caramelizes deeply.
Cultural note
It is closely associated with bakery windows and small pastry boxes, where the shape is as recognizable as the flavor.
Common misconception
The name is seen with one or two n letters; the clue target is the same fluted caramelized pastry.
