About Calzones Rotos
Pilar Hernández’s calzones rotos are Chilean fried pastries she recalls her grandmother making during winter visits. The dough combines flour, butter and eggs with icing sugar, pisco and lemon zest.
Each rectangle of dough has a slit through which one end is pulled, giving the pastry its twisted shape. The pieces fry until golden, with their thickness determining how crisp or substantial they feel.
Icing sugar is scattered over the pastries as soon as they leave the oil. Hernández serves them hot, with the citrus zest supplying their characteristic fragrance.
