Ensaimadas


The Bread Baking Babes are entering their third year. Karen at Bake My Day chose Ensaimadas. They are a sweet, rolled dough maybe filled with a little surprise. Head over to her link for the recipe.

She posted a link to a you tube video on how to roll the ensaimdasas. I watched the video, once again wondering why I didn't study Spanish instead of French. At one point the baker is explaining what he is filling them with and listing some other options. I heard chocolate, really nice how you can understand that word in so many languages.

I filled half of them with Nutella and half with butter, cinnamon and sugar. They are light, delicious treat.

  2. Anne,

    Those look incredibly good! And the fact that your mom was a French teacher probably had something to do with the French...

    I drool at your blog.

  7. Anne, I don't remember the french translation on everything in the house, but I can imagine it! We never had anything so good in French class! Emily and her classmates are lucky!!
    I can still visualize your mom doing matrices at the front of the room, and taking us to the math competition in Hazelton. Still my favorite high school teacher ever!!

  9. Ah...I see that pork lard is included in the ingredients. I know for a fact that was my mom's secret ingredient in all of her bread recipes.

    These looks delicious Anne Marie!

  13. I love the video, I don't know if I have ever rolled dough out that thin. Chocolate is always delightful, but I enjoyed the cinnamon.

  14. Nutella filling - what a great idea. I made cinnamon-sugar ones, but Nutella would have been fantastic, too.
