A deliciously flakey Italian treat originating in Naples, sfogliatelle are made by rolling pastry into long, thin sheets and brushing with butter, before rolling into a spiral and slicing to create lots of buttery layers that encase a rich ricotta and vanilla filling. While this recipe takes a little bit of work, the result of warm, crisp pastry shells with their creamy filling is well worth the effort. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
