Rosquillas

Rosquillas are traditional Spanish deep-fried donuts with a hole in the middle and a fluffy texture. They're usually made during the Holy Week celebrations. Although there are many different types of rosquillas, the classic ones are made with an egg, sugar, milk, oil, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, and anisette, which gives them a distinct flavor.

Rosquillas de vino are a classic variety of rosquillas made with sweet muscat wine (moscatel) and are known as rosquillas de vino. Rosquillas are typically served as a sweet snack after being deep-fried and topped with cinnamon sugar.

In Honduras, however, the rosquillas are made with corn masa and curd cheese, and they are baked rather than deep-fried. Corn masa is the pastry originating from the little village of El Viejo in Chinandega in the Northern Nicaragua. This city is situated adjacent to the Honduran border. The area surrounded the village is sugar country. This part of Nicaragua grows a plethora of sugar cane.
