CHEF'S NOTES
Cornuelles are traditional cookies for Palm Sunday. Made from a shortbread dough and sprinkled with anise seeds, they are unique in two ways: they are triangular and have a hole in the center so that they can be sliopped onto branches. After the blessing, they can finally be enjoyed!
In the French town of Villebois-Lavalette, a whole Palm Sunday fair centres around them. At the same time in Barbezieux, bakers are making different cornuelles: shaped like pine cones and made with choux-pastry flavoured with orange flower water.
