When I was a kid I had a friend who's parents had emigrated from Italy to Canada and found their way out to the West coast , settling in our neighbourhood in Vancouver, B.C. The mom, Momma Noni, used to make this simple but amazing pastry that was called scalini if I remember correctly. It was a strip of a flaky dough that had a honey glaze of some kind and flavoured with ...lemon ??  I'm not sure , it was back in the 60's and there's been a lot of road in between then and now, but I'm wondering if any of our members have ever heard of it . I know I could Google it but I'd rather hear from anyone on TFL if they know anything about it ..and maybe even a recipe.

Thanks,

Franko

I said that I would post this recipe. They are delicious but although the pastry is satisfactory it isn't as fine as machine made. I would love to hear from anyone who attempts to make it.
