indritos

Indritos are a type of small, typically sweet, fried dough pastry. They are commonly found in various cuisines, particularly in Spanish and Latin American traditions. The dough is usually made from flour, eggs, sugar, and a leavening agent, then shaped into small balls or other simple forms before being deep-fried until golden brown.

Once fried, indritos are often coated in sugar, sometimes mixed with cinnamon, or drizzled with honey or syrup. Their texture is generally light and airy on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior. Indritos are frequently served as a dessert or a sweet snack. They can be enjoyed on their own or as an accompaniment to coffee or tea. Variations exist depending on the region, with some recipes incorporating citrus zest or other flavorings into the dough. The simplicity of their preparation and ingredients makes them a popular homemade treat.
