Holy Week, or Semana Santa as
it's called in Spain, is the annual festival in which Christians
celebrate the Jesus' passion, death and resurrection. In
Andalusia, there are many large processions in the streets every
day from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. People eat many special
foods during Holy Week, most of which have no meat in them. This
recipe is for a delicious and sweet snack called torrijas, which
is made of bread, honey and cinnamon. |

Ingretients
- 12 slices of bread
- 1 glass of milk
- 125 g. of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 g. of cinnamon
- olive oil for frying
- 250 g. of honey
Directions
Cut the bread into slices which are 1 cm thick. In a bowl,
mix the milk with the honey and half of the sugar. Moisten the
bread slices on one side with this mixture and let them sit
overnight on a plate from which excess liquid can drain away.
The next morning, beat the eggs, dip the bread slices in the egg,
then fry them in hot olive oil. When they are golden brown, take
them out and place them on a napkin so excess oil can drain away.
Then place them on a plate and sprinkle with a mixture of
cinnamon and sugar. |
