Sfogliatelle are the Neapolitan pastry par excellence. Made from a recipe for an ancient form of puff pastry, sfogliatelle ricce (curly or flaky sfogliatelle) are shatteringly crisp and flaky on the outside, with a creamy, semolina-thickened ricotta filling within. The pastry shops in Naples that sell the sfogliatelle keep them in warmers, so that the fat in the dough, usually lard, does not have an opportunity to congeal and render the pastry heavy.
