Ingredients

- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 ounces milk
- 1 sheet puff pastry (defrosted)
- Egg for egg wash
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the custard by whisking together egg yolks, sugar, and flour in a bowl. Gradually add milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat until thickened; stir in vanilla extract and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry into a thin rectangle and cut into 1-inch strips.
- Shape each strip around a cone mold, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown; allow to cool completely.
- Fill each cooled cannoncino with custard using a piping bag and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
