The sweet languages of Procida, also called ox tongues, are a traditional recipe from the beautiful island of Procida! They are prepared with two layers of puff pastry, stuffed with tasty lemon-flavored pastry cream and covered with sugar to make their surface crispy.
During a weekend of mine (after which I also wrote an article about what to eat in Procida) I adored them, they are found in practically every bar and, in the b & b where I was staying, they served in place of a croissant for breakfast.
If the destination is a bit too far for you, then you can prepare these sweet languages directly at home, so as to bring a bit of Procida traction even in your city!
Ivano and I have now gone fixed for these languages and in the end I'm finding myself very often, also because they are so easy to make;)
