About Asturian casadielles

Casadielles are Asturian sweet pastries filled with walnuts, sugar and anís. Noelia Rodríguez presents this fried-dough rendition within the region’s family traditions, recalling Christmas preparations with her childhood friend from Laviana.

White wine, butter, olive oil, lard and egg yolk enrich the pastry. The walnut filling has a gentle anise flavour, while lemon peel and cinnamon scent the frying oil; star anise is an optional addition.

The folded parcels have fork-marked ends and a crisp exterior covered in sugar. This is the walnut-filled fried style, distinct from the region’s separately described puff-pastry version.
