Throughout the island the Pabassini are one of the most widespread types of sweets. It is a fall typical sweet, thanks to the presence of two ingredients immediately available after harvest: raisins (pabassa), from which the cake itself is named, and sapa, recurring in many variations of this recipe.

The methods of packaging are various: like a small cone (said to s'antiga, to campanileddu, to pumpullina); in rhomboid shape (a mustatzolus) or other shapes obtained with the use of small woodcuts (in the south of the island mollixeddus), like a star, heart, flower, or reproducing the initials of the name and the surname of de sa meri 'e sa domu' (the hostess). Covered or not with glaze; brushed or not with a little egg yolk or egg white in order to give gloss to the surface; studded or not with colored sprinkles.

Fall sweet, which in various locations on the island used to be, as well as nuts and season fruit, a gift for the children who went to ask in the name of the deceased, in the day dedicated to them.
