Ensaimadas are one of the island's most beloved symbols: a specialty that smells of tradition, slow breakfasts and pastry shops overlooking the sea. Soft, light, rolled into their characteristic spiral shape, ensaimadas are a pastry that wins you over at first sight and even more at the first bite. Their tender, slightly stringy texture recalls a delicate brioche, yet with a distinctly Spanish character, made of simplicity and ancient gestures passed down through generations. The original recipe was born in Mallorca, where these brioches have been prepared for centuries with a few essential ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, yeast, butter or oil or lard. It is precisely the lard \u2013 \"sa\u00efm\" in Catalan \u2013 that gives the sweet its name and provides that unique texture, soft but not heavy, which distinguishes it from other European brioches. Today there are many variations, from cream- or chocolate-filled versions to more modern ones with jams or hazelnut cream, but the simple version remains the most authentic and loved. Making ensaimadas at home requires some patience, especially for the rising times, but the procedure is within everyone's reach. I used my Panasonic Croustina bread machine to make the dough, but you can of course make the dough by hand or with a stand mixer; the important thing is that the dough is well developed. The dough is rolled out very thin, almost transparent, then rolled up and shaped into the typical spiral. During baking it puffs up slightly while keeping that soft, light structure that makes them irresistible. Once cool, they are dusted with plenty of powdered sugar, which completes their elegant and inviting look. They are also made in cake form, therefore larger and typically for the Christmas period. Ensaimadas are perfect for breakfast, a special snack or to serve at a brunch. They bring a little Mediterranean atmosphere to the table, a simple flavor full of history, enough to make you travel in your mind to the sunny streets of the island. Approx 340 kcal per ensaimada."}
