Honduran Sweets

Specialised

ROSQUILLAS — the ring of maize masa and hard cheese, baked hard, dunked in coffee, and made across Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador with each claiming its own; Honduras’s are strongly associated with the south and with Yuscarán. QUESADILLA HONDUREÑA, a rice-flour-and-cheese cake, ⚠ not a Mexican quesadilla and not identical to the Salvadoran one. TORREJAS in syrup at Christmas and Lent. Pastelitos de perro, the fried meat turnover. RIGUAS. Nuégados and buñuelos. TRES LECHES. Dulce de leche, cajeta and dulce de coco. AYOTE EN MIEL and camote en dulce at Semana Santa. Semita. And SOPA DE CARACOL’s sweet counterpart on the coast, pan de coco.
