Ensaimada is a traditional pastry originating from the Balearic Islands in Spain, particularly popular in Mallorca. It is a spiral-shaped sweet bread made from flour, sugar, eggs, and lard, which gives it a rich flavor and soft texture. The dough is rolled out, coiled, and allowed to rise before baking, resulting in a fluffy and airy treat. Typically enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, ensaimadas can be served plain or filled with various ingredients, such as pumpkin jam or chocolate. They are often dusted with powdered sugar and are a beloved part of Spanish culinary culture.
