Searching for Scalini
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
