Robiols are a typical Mallorcan pudding at Christmas and Easter. They are sweet and filled with cheese, jam, pudding or ‘angel’s hair’.

History
Its name derives from the French gâteau (cake) and appears to have originated in the eighteenth century Gallic cuisine, although the cakes made of almonds were consumed earlier. Thus the year 1679, on the occasion of the visit of Bishop Bernard Cotoner in the monastery of San Salvador, were served, among other foods, almond cakes.

These Mallorcan pasties (“Panades mallorquines“) are typical of Easter, here in Mallorca and the Balearics. Our grandmothers did before the holidays and so had made for dinner a few nights. If it become smaller in size serve a buffet.
