Pan Dulce

OrejaPalmier-style puff pastry rolled in sugar and baked into ear-shaped spirals that caramelize into crisp, glassy, buttery layers.
MarranitoAlso called puerquito or cochinito: a pig-shaped soft gingerbread sweetened with piloncillo and molasses, cakey in texture with an earthy, mildly spiced flavor.
Ojo de BueyNamed for an ox eye, this pastry rings a disc of sponge cake with a coil of flaky puff pastry, offering two contrasting textures in one piece.
MantecadaA Mexican-style muffin baked in a red paper cup, with a fine, buttery crumb, a hint of vanilla or orange, and a sugared dome.

Galletas y Polvorones

Galleta de GrajeaA round butter cookie edged in rainbow sprinkles, crisp around the rim and slightly tender in the middle, a favorite with children.
HojarascaA delicate cinnamon shortbread, traditionally made with lard, tossed in cinnamon sugar after baking; very crumbly with a warm, spiced aroma.
BesoTwo domed, cake-like halves joined with strawberry jam, then rolled in coconut or sugar to resemble a kiss; soft, sweet, and fruity.
CoyotaA thin, flaky disc from Sonora filled with melted piloncillo, offering a crisp shell and a molten, molasses-like brown-sugar center.

Empanadas y Rellenos

Churro RellenoA ridged fried churro rolled in cinnamon sugar and filled with cajeta, chocolate, or cream, crunchy outside with a gooey center.
Empanada de CalabazaA half-moon turnover filled with spiced pumpkin cooked down with piloncillo and cinnamon, with a tender, slightly flaky crust.
Empanada de PiñaA sugar-crusted turnover packed with sticky pineapple jam, its soft pastry shell giving way to a bright tropical bite.
Empanada de CamoteFilled with smooth sweet potato purée scented with cinnamon, this turnover is mellow and earthy, with a sugar-sprinkled crust.
