molerotillas

Molerotillas are a traditional Spanish sweet pastry, particularly popular in the Andalusia region of Spain. They are small, circular cookies, often described as having a slightly crumbly texture. The name "molerotillas" translates roughly to "little grinders," likely referring to the way they are meant to be enjoyed, perhaps with a beverage that requires a bit of "grinding" or dissolving.

The typical ingredients for molerotillas include flour, sugar, lard or butter, and a flavoring agent such as cinnamon or lemon zest. The dough is rolled out and cut into small circles, then baked until golden brown. Some variations may include a glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar. They are often served during festive occasions and holidays, but are also a common treat enjoyed with coffee or tea at any time of day. Their simple yet satisfying flavor profile has made them a beloved part of Spanish culinary heritage.
