Conchas
Conchas are traditional Mexican sweet bread rolls, known for their distinctive shell-like shape and sugary topping. They are made from a soft, enriched dough that often includes ingredients like milk, butter, and eggs. The topping, typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, and butter, is applied before baking, creating a crunchy texture that contrasts with the soft interior.
These delightful pastries come in various flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and even colorful variations. Conchas are commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack, often paired with hot chocolate or coffee, making them a popular choice in Mexican bakeries and households.
