About Rosquillas
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Maseca Centroamérica’s recipe prepares one batch of rosquillas and viejitas. The Maseca masa is mixed with supplied grated cheese, milk and beaten egg, then shaped into rings and flattened pieces with rapadura dulce in their centres.
The Maseca masa is prepared according to the package instructions. It is mixed with the supplied grated cheese, half a cup of milk and two tablespoons of supplied beaten egg until the masa is homogeneous.
For the rosquillas, small ropes of masa are made and joined at their ends to form rings. For the viejitas, small balls are made, flattened and given a little rapadura dulce in the centre.
Both shapes are placed on a supplied, previously greased tray. They bake for forty-five minutes at the printed setting of 180 degrees, or until golden.
The baked rosquillas and viejitas are ready to enjoy with coffee. The rings keep their joined-rope shape, while the flattened viejitas carry the sweet centre.
