Flaons de Morella

Flaons de Morella are small pastries filled with cheese. As the name suggests, they hail from Morella and are believed to date back to medieval times. Flaons combine a flaky pastry with a combination of fresh cheese, egg yolks, and ground almonds, as well as various flavorings such as cinnamon and lemon zest, while the dough is typically flavored with aniseed or anise liqueur. The pastries are shaped into half-moons, and they are traditionally served dusted with cinnamon sugar.
