Pios Nonos (Spanish Cream Pastry Rolls)

Ingredients

• sponge cake (bizcocho)
• crema (pastry cream or custard)
• strong sugar syrup (almíbar)

Instructions

1. Prepare a thin sponge cake (bizcocho) and bake it well until golden and firm. Allow it to cool completely.
2. If you wish to make the píos nonos large, leave the cake whole. If you prefer them small, cut the cake into small pieces.
3. Spread crema (pastry cream) on the toasted side of the cake pieces and roll or shape them to form the pío nono.
4. Glaze the pastries with strong sugar syrup (almíbar).
