Pignolata is a Sicilian pastry. Also common in Calabria. It is soft, and covered in chocolate and lemon flavored syrup (a 1 kilogram specimen, which is the norm, will have half covered in one flavoring and the other half in the other flavoring), which hardens when the pignolata is ready to be served. Each pastry serves about 5 people, and is meant to be cut into small pieces when served.
