About Mantecadas de Astorga
Mantecadas de Astorga are traditional sweet cakes from Astorga in Spain's Castilla y León region. This profile follows Spain.info's balanced butter, egg and flour version.
Butter and egg give the cakes a rich, rounded flavour while sugar keeps them gently sweet. Ground cinnamon adds a warm fragrance rather than a dominant spice note.
Each small cake rises in its paper case with a softly domed golden top. Inside, the crumb is yellow, tender and airy with fine, even pores.
