Wow, that sounds delicious. Is it something along the lines of a cannoli , taste wise, daughter in law brought some up a few years ago.

We don’t get any continental type baking in the country areas.

I prefer fried stuff also. Over here , homemade jam donuts for instance, they suggest baking for at home ( healthier) haha, nowhere near as nice as fried, so I don’t bother.

Off to check some recipes. Haha
