Mantecados - Traditional Spanish Crumble Cakes Say "mantecados" to a Spaniard and watch their eyes expand remembering those royal crumbly cookies they feast on at Christmas. They really are a true favorite. And, not surprisingly - they are so soft, they'll literally melt in your mouth. Light, with a delicate anise taste, words do not do them justice. You'll have to personally prepare them to find out why they're a Spanish favorite and why no Spanish home is without "mantecados" during Christmas!
Turrn - Spanish Almond Candy Turrn is a very old, traditional dessert of Moorish (Arabic) foundation. This Spanish Almond Candy or Nougat is a traditional Christmas treat in Spain. Prepared largely from honey and almonds, it comes in a large assortment of flavors and textures.
Flan - Custard with Caramel Sauce Vanilla egg custard, topped with caramel sauce is one of the very well-liked desserts, served anywhere in Spain.
Catalan Cream - Crema Catalana Catalan Cream or Crema Catalana is the Catalan edition of the creamy and soft "crme brule." It is also known as "Crema de Sant Joseph" or St. Joseph's Cream, traditionally baked on March 19th, St. Joseph's Day. (St. Joseph's Day is Father's Day in Spain and other Catholic countries.)
Polvorones - Almond Cookies Classy and flaky, these conventional "polvorones" is a delectable cookie, especially well-liked during the Christmas season. Like the name implies, they are "dusty" - very classy and basically melt in your mouth!
Churros - Spanish Fritters "Churros" are fritters that appear like large French fries, but taste very different. The best way to explain them is to say that they are the Spanish parallel of doughnuts. Instead of a ring like a doughnut, "churros" are long and upright and generally have ridges. They're sliced into lengths and topped with sugar or honey. Served with thick hot chocolate, they're definitely a favorite late-night Spanish dessert or even breakfast!
