[edit] Spanish version

Piononos are small pastries traditional from Santa Fe, a small town adjacent to the city of Granada, Spain. A pionono is comprised of two parts: a thin layer of pastry rolled into a cylinder, fermented with different kinds of syrup which give the pionono a sweet and pleasant texture, crowned with toasted cream. It is typically eaten in one or two bites.


[edit] Latin American versions

In various Latin American countries such as Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, piononos are prepared using a dough made of flour, eggs, and sugar, which is then filled with dulce de leche, fruits, chantilly cream, or salty fiambre. In Puerto Rico piononos are prepared using plantain as a wrapper and cheese or meat as filling[1].
