Hojuela

An Hojuela, meaning "flake" in Spanish, is a traditional Spanish and American sweet baked-good. In Latin American countries, especially Colombia and as origin in Spain, it is commonly made during Holy Week and the Christmas season. Ingredients vary by region, but usually consist of a flour-based batter fried in oil and dusted with sugar. Hojuelas are commonly made during the Holiday season. They are generally eaten along with manjar blanco, natillas, and buñuelos. Hojuelas are usually made with wheat flour, eggs, water, and half a cup of orange juice or less. Strips of the batter are then fried with vegetable oil. In Chile, hojuelas derive from a traditional recipe using palm syrup.
