Classic pastry
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This dessert will delight both adults and children. You can optionally add brandy, as I did. However, if children are going to eat the dessert, it's best not to add it. The sweet treat goes wonderfully with tea and coffee :) Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Now it is necessary to roll each pastry in cocoa powder. To prevent the cocoa from melting in your hands, you can mix it beforehand with a small amount of powdered sugar. Place the "potatoes" in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes.
