Small cakes producing little iron (10)
I believe the answer is:
tortellini
'small cakes producing little iron' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'producing little iron' is the wordplay.
'producing' indicates an anagram.
'little'+'iron'='littleiron'
'littleiron' anagrammed gives 'TORTELLINI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tortellini that I've seen before include "Pasta is called for" , "pasta dish" , "Italian dish" , "Small filled pasta cases" , "Rings for food" .)
