Asticciotti are delicious Italian cupcakes that originated in Puglia. Their shell-like shape makes them both attractive and tasty. Prepared with a dough made from flour, sugar, butter and eggs, they are then shaped into shells using a special mold. Cooked until they get a nice golden color and crispy texture on the outside, they stay moist on the inside. These little treasures are usually topped with fruit jam such as apricot or strawberry, which pairs perfectly with their shortbread texture. Asticciotti are perfect to accompany a cup of coffee or tea, and they can also make charming homemade gifts for your loved ones.
