Mexican cuernitos (Spanish: cuernitos Cuernitos (short horns) are often compared to French croissants, but the similarities are limited to their shape. Unlike croissants, cuernitos are baked not from puff pastry, but from a yeast-leavened shortcrust pastry, and after baking, their texture is more like dense buns. Cuernitos are typically made without filling: the dough is rolled into croissants, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, and baked. They are delicious, sweet, and aromatic even without filling.
