Orejas are a beloved staple in the panaderías that dot the streets of Mexico, inviting passersby with their enticing aroma. The name, meaning 'ears' in Spanish, refers to their distinctive shape, a familiar sight in the bustling windows of these bakeries. While they are a daily delight enjoyed across the country, this home version captures the essence of those bakery-fresh flavors, bringing warmth and comfort to any table.
These pastries should be crisp and flaky, with each bite offering a satisfying crunch followed by the sweetness of sugar and a hint of cinnamon's warmth. The egg wash gives them a golden finish, making them as beautiful as they are delicious. Enjoy them as a simple yet indulgent treat that embodies the everyday joy of Mexican baking.
