It is used for tortas.ĬHURRO: Fried dough rolled in sugar and cinnamon. Does anyone know what Latinos eat these biscuits with?īOLILLO: This Mexican roll (by way of the French) is crusty outside and soft inside. and there are probably errors in here that I hope people will catch.īISQUETS – One English forum called these “old fashioned biscuits” found in lots of panadrias in Mexico. There are photos of: PAN DE HUEVO (egg bread, white, chocolate, coconut & yellow), MARRANITO (gingerbread pigs), PIEDRA (spiced raisin cookies with pink icing), CREMAS DE FRESA (strawberries & cream flaky pastry), SEMITA DE ANIS (anise buns), PASTEL (white cake with pink sprinkled icing), GALLETAS (cookies, cinnamon, coconut, oatmeal, peanut butter, cherry center, cherry, pecan, chocolate), REPOSTERIA DE POLVO (shortbread), It had pictures of it’s pan dulce with Mexican names and English descriptions The same site has a ton of Mexican desserts with pictures and recipes (gratuitous link) Many of the pictures are from this site which also includes the recipe.
The San Francisco Chronicle had an excellent article a few years ago describing some of these breads. So perhaps it is hopeless, but I hope to become familiar with the more common names. This site with additional history says, “Estimates of the number of types of breads produced by Mexican bakers number between five hundred and two thousand different varieties.” ENCOCADAN (soft coconut buns), OJOS DE TORO (bull's eyes), as well as others mentioned below and pastries unique to certain bakeries. Some of the pan dulce mentioned: BIGOTES (mustaches), ELOTE (ear of corn). The French influence in Mexico peaked in the early 1900s during the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, whose idea of modernizing and refining Mexico included a disdain for traditional Mexican cuisine in exchange for anything and everything French.” This was an interesting history of pan dulce which are link to the French. Are there any books out there about pan dulce? picture not necessary, just a name and a description.
I’d appreciate any other contributions (or corrections). Mexican cookies, also known as 'biscochitos' 'pan de polvo' 'polvorones' or 'mexican wedding cookies' may have lots of different names but all share the same rich cultural tradition.I finally found a panadria I like and I’d like to know the actual names of those breads.Įveryone knows the ubiquitous conchas, but what is some of that other stuff? Here’s what I’ve gleaned to date with pictures. To us, it embodies the meaning of a Mexican cookie - petite in size and meant to be shared at social gatherings to deliver happiness in every bite. Specializing in our famous Mexican cookies, of course!! What does Felizsta mean?įelizsta is a mash of two Spanish words feliz (happy) and fiesta (party). Celebrate The Culture! Share the vibrant culture of Latin America with others through gifts, art, home decor and gourmet foods. Our famous cookies are made from scratch, hand-cut and baked in small batches. Honor Our Heritage! Continue the traditional craft of baking polvorones or pan de polvo. Our Mission/PurposeĪs a Mexican-American family from South Texas and Tulsa transplants. You can order our cookies online or shop in person at our flagship store on Route 66. Today we bake cookies out of a commercially licensed kitchen and ship from our retail shop at 1102 S.
And my mom helps us fulfill and ship orders. My dad and I can often be seen baking together. My parents retired from Celebrity Cake Shop, but still help me run Felizsta today. Our primary focus was to make it easy for cultural food lovers to find and order authentic, fresh Mexican cookies in a convenient, modern way. I started Felizsta in June 2018 as a family owned, online-only business. So, we thought, why not help provide a service that allowed them to order direct ship-from-store? The cookies were sought after and shared all over the nation through customers. People would often make an extra trip to their bakery just to pick up some cookies before they traveled back to wherever they came from. My parent's bakery, Celebrity Cake Shop, was best known for its biscuit, cakes and pan de polvo.īy far, Celebrity Cake Shop's pan de polvo would get the highest compliments. My grandparent's legacy bakery, El Fenix Bakery, is still located in Edinburg, TX and best known for its glazed and chocolate donuts. Both my parents and grandparents owned and operated panaderias (Mexican bakeries) along the Texas/Mexican border.
