Description

These adorable little puerquitos (pig-shaped Mexican cookies) are perfectly paired with a cup of tea or coffee, as many pan dulce are, but are also tasty on their own. Their distinctive, slightly earthy flavor comes from piloncillo (also called panela), a type of unrefined sugar made from boiling sugarcane juice. Their soft, chewy texture is complemented by notes of cinnamon and honey, making them all together a not-too-sweet treat to enjoy any time of day.This recipe is part of our feature celebrating Pan Dulce.
