Open baskets of thin pastry pinched into points and filled with sweetened ricotta or fresh cheese, scented with saffron and lemon or orange zest. Cagliari bakes them for Easter and sells them all year.
Pardulas, called casadinas in parts of the interior, are the Easter bake of southern Sardinia. The pastry is semolina worked with lard and water, rolled thin, cut into discs and pinched up around the filling in six or seven points so the top stays open. The filling is fresh sheep ricotta or a soft cheese, sugar, egg and saffron, which gives the crown its yellow colour, plus lemon or orange zest. Saffron has been grown in the Campidano plain north of Cagliari for centuries and is what separates a Sardinian pardula from any other ricotta tartlet. City pastry houses now bake them year round.
