Rosquillas Hondureñas

A traditional Honduran dish — rosquillas hondureñas are the golden corn-flour rings of southern Honduras, baked by the towns of Choluteca and Nacaome with dry cheese worked into the dough. Crisp at the edges, tender within, and faintly salty-sweet, they are the classic companion to a cup of Honduran coffee.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Mix the corn flour, baking powder, salt, and anise in a bowl
  2. Rub in the butter and grated cheese until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs
  3. Beat in the eggs and add milk a spoonful at a time until the dough comes together into a stiff, non-sticky mass
  4. Knead briefly, then divide the dough into twelve pieces and roll each into a rope about half an inch thick
  5. Join the ends of each rope to form a ring, pinching the seam smooth
  6. Arrange the rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at three hundred fifty degrees F for twenty to twenty-five minutes, until golden and firm
  7. Cool on a rack and serve with coffee; store any leftovers in an airtight tin

💡 Chef tips & storage

The dough should be stiff enough to hold its shape — add milk drop by drop. In the south these are sometimes fried instead of baked, which makes them richer and crunchier.
