📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Rosquillas are a traditional Honduran bake of cornmeal mixed with cheese, eggs, and butter and baked into rings. Crisp and firm, they're classically dunked in coffee. In villages such as Santa Lucía and in the Olancho region, handmade rosquillas are a specialty.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Honduran mountain village at afternoon coffee time, a basket of ring-shaped bakes sits on the table to be dunked in coffee.
