Что это за блюдо

Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

These crescent-shaped pastries consist of a thin, flaky dough that is filled with a sweet combination of sugar, egg yolks, ground almonds, and chila (gila) squash. After baking, they are shortly dipped in syrup, which provides the tortas with a crisp, glossy coating. As the name suggests, the pastries were invented in Guimarães, and they were originally prepared by nuns from the convent of Santa Clara. Nowadays, they are one of the most recognizable Guimarães desserts.
