EASTER DESSERTS-by Carmen Mosquera


People from different parts of the world celebrate Easter with typical desserts of their countries.
  • Spain: during lent Spaniards used to eat French toasts. This delicious dessert is made of slices of bread (normally from various days). The slices of the bread are soaked in milk which is aromatized with cinnamon and lemon peel. Then you bread them with eggs and now you are able to fry them. Allow to cool down them and if you like you can sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon.
In Spain are also typical the sweet fritters, fried milk, Mona de Pascua, honey-coated fritter, etc.
