Cuernitos are a type of pastry popular in various Latin American countries, particularly in Mexico. They are small, crescent-shaped rolls made from a sweet, buttery dough. Often enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack, cuernitos can be filled with ingredients like chocolate, cream cheese, or fruit preserves. These pastries are typically baked until golden brown and have a flaky texture. Cuernitos are often served with coffee or hot chocolate, making them a delightful treat for any time of day. Their name, which means "little horns" in Spanish, reflects their distinctive shape.
