The «pastissets» are shaped like a dumpling but inside they hide a sweet filling. The «pastissets» are usually made with brandy or almond (formerly also made with “sagí” butter) and filled with sweet potato. Originally they used to be cooked in a wood oven.
This dish is mandatory at all after-meals and gatherings during the Christmas celebrations. Along with them you also usually see «rosegons» or almonds made with almonds, sugar and egg.
