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.

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.
