Easter Parade

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I’ll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl, I’m taking to the Easter Parade.

Happy Easter Day.

Recipe for pestiños with honey or sugar

recipe for making pestiños with honey or sugar

Cooking recipes - How to pestiños?

Have you ever tasted pestiños? This Andalusian sweet, traditional at Easter and other important festivities, dates back to the 16th century, although its origin is probably much older.

Pestiños are usually eaten at Christmas or Easter. In Spain it is traditional to eat them along with other Easter sweets, such as torrijas, leche frita, the traditional Mona de Pascua, and other culinary delights.

How to make homemade pestiños with honey or sugar

Ingredients Andalusian pestiños (fritters):

  • 1 glass (250 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 glass (250 ml) of white wine
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 750 g flour
  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • Sugar for coating

Steps for making pestiños:

  1. Put the glass of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan with the cinnamon stick and the lemon peel.
  2. Fry over a low heat to prevent the oil from burning.
  3. Let the oil cool, remove the lemon peel and cinnamon stick and put the oil in a large bowl.
  4. Add the glass of wine, the salt and a little flour and mix well.
  5. We add the flour little by little, at the end we will have to continue kneading with our hands.
  6. Knead for about five minutes until you obtain a very soft dough.
  7. This dough is very easy to handle thanks to the oil, it does not stick at all.
  8. Form small balls by hand, roll out very well with a rolling pin, it should be very thin.
  9. Join two sides and press the two doughs together well, joining them again, this is very important as otherwise they will open when frying.
  10. Fry in plenty of extra virgin olive oil until golden on both sides.
  11. Remove and place on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
  12. Before they cool, coat them in sugar.

Andalusian pestiños with honey

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 small glass of mild olive oil
  • A dash of sweet wine
  • A dash of sweet aniseed
  • 1 tablespoon of aniseed
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
  • 250 g wheat flour
  • 150 g honey
  • Water
  • Lemon or orange peel

Preparation:

  1. Put the lemon or orange zest in the oil and remove it when the oil starts to bubble. Then add the aniseed seeds. Turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool completely. Mix the oil with the sweet wine, sweet aniseed, sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and flour. Add the flour little by little, at the end you will have to continue kneading with your hands.
  2. Knead for about five minutes until the dough is very smooth.
  3. The dough needs to rest for half an hour. Form small balls by hand, roll out very well with a rolling pin, it should be very thin.
  4. Join two sides and press the two doughs together well, this is important so that they do not open when frying. Fry in plenty of hot oil and remove on absorbent paper to absorb the excess oil. Prepare a syrup in a casserole with 150 g of honey and three spoonfuls of water, and once it starts to boil, turn off the heat. Dip the pestiños in this syrup, one at a time, using a spoon, and place on a tray. Leave for about two hours to cool completely.

Recipe for Torrijas Traditional, baked and vegan

recipe for making Torrijas Traditional, baked and vegan

Cooking recipes - How to Torrijas?

Today we suggest you prepare the classic homemade torrijas at home so that the whole family can enjoy this very Spanish sweet. Your children can help to coat them in sugar and cinnamon. We are also going to see other torrijas recipes and also the recipe without eggs or milk.

Ingredients Torrijas of milk:

  • One loaf of bread from the previous day, cut into slices of about 1.5 cm
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 litre of milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • A piece of lemon peel and a piece of orange peel.
  • A stick of cinnamon stick
  • A teaspoon of cinnamon powder
  • Oil for frying: 3/4 litre.

Steps for making torrijas of milk:

  1. In a saucepan, heat the milk with half the sugar, the orange and lemon peel and the cinnamon stick, stirring with a spoon to dilute the sugar.
  2. Before it comes to the boil, remove from the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
  3. Then dip the slices of bread in the milk for about ten or twelve seconds.
  4. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  5. Heat the oil for frying.
  6. While the oil is heating, beat the eggs.
  7. Dip the slices of bread in the egg.
  8. When the oil is hot, fry the torrijas.
  9. When they are golden brown on both sides, remove them on absorbent paper.
  10. Put them in a bowl where you can leave them to bathe in the milk, to which you have added the cinnamon powder and dissolved the rest of the sugar.
  11. Keep in the fridge and consume preferably within three days.

** Instead of sugar and cinnamon you can sprinkle the torrijas with honey diluted with water.

And if you don't want to fry the torrijas... 

How to make torrijas in the oven:

  1. Preheat the oven on grill function at 250º C, with the rack in the middle.
  2. Line a baking dish with baking paper.
  3. Carefully place the torrijas in the baking dish after dipping them in the egg.
  4. Bake for about 4-5 minutes, carefully turn them over and continue baking for a further 4 minutes.
  5. The baking time is approximate, keep an eye on the torrijas, when you see them golden brown you can remove them from the oven.

Once the torrijas are baked, transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. This would be the most traditional version, but we are going to tell you a trick that we are sure you will like so that your torrijas are very juicy, which is to substitute the sugar and cinnamon for a few spoonfuls of the infused milk from the beginning, sprinkling the torrijas lightly over the top. I assure you that you will love them.

  • It is advisable to soak the torrijas while the milk is still hot, so that they hydrate better, but be careful because they can also break easily. Use a spatula to help you transfer them to the serving dish.
  • You can prepare a syrup with 300 g of water and sugar to taste, let it boil until the sugar dissolves and you can flavour the syrup with a cinnamon stick while it boils. When you remove the torrijas from the oven, use a brush to dip them a little in the syrup. This step is important if you want them to be a little juicier, as they are a little drier than the traditional ones when they are baked and not fried.
  • When you take them out you can also sprinkle them with a few spoonfuls of the infused milk mixture, you will see how delicious they are!
  • Baked torrijas can be served with a nice bowl of hot chocolate or a cup of coffee.

Vegan torrijas without eggs and milk (easy baked recipe)

If someone in your family is vegan, or has an allergy or intolerance to eggs or milk, we also have a recipe especially for them. Check out the recipe for egg-free and dairy-free vegan torrijas.

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of bread from the day before

  2. Cut the bread into slices of about 1-2 cm.
  3. Heat the almond milk, together with 50 g fructose, 1 cinnamon stick and the peel of 1 lemon, avoiding the white inner part because it is bitter.
  4. When the almond milk is hot, soak the slices of bread (they should not be excessively soaked, so that they do not fall apart).
  5. Put the egg substitute in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of water or vegetable milk, and dip the slices of bread in the mixture. If you prefer, they can also be coated in chickpea flour diluted in water.
  6. Place the bread on the reserved tray and bake in a preheated oven at 170ºC for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. While they are in the oven, prepare a syrup as follows:
