Cornetto (pastry)

A cornetto (Italian pronunciation: [korˈnetto]), meaning "little horn", is an Italian variation of the Austrian kipferl. It differs from a croissant in being softer and containing less butter. The main ingredients of a cornetto are pastry dough, eggs, butter, water and sugar. Egg yolk is brushed on the surface of the cornetto to obtain a golden color during baking. The name cornetto is common in Southern and Central Italy, while it is called brioche in the North.
