Cornet
A Cornet is a classic Viennese pastry, essentially a sweet, flaky crescent roll similar to a croissant but often richer and sweeter. It's typically made from a laminated yeast dough with generous amounts of butter, and may be filled with apricot jam, vanilla cream, or simply dusted with powdered sugar. It originates from Vienna, Austria, and is a staple of traditional Konditorei (pastry shop) culture.

💡 What's interesting
The Cornet's shape is said to have been inspired by the crescent moon, symbolizing the Ottoman retreat from Vienna in 1683. Nutritionally, while indulgent, the laminated dough structure creates a satisfying texture that makes it a beloved treat rather than an everyday food.
