nales

Nales are a type of baked good, typically sweet, made from dough that is shaped and then baked. The specific ingredients and preparation methods can vary significantly, leading to a wide range of textures and flavors. Common ingredients include flour, sugar, butter or oil, eggs, and leavening agents like baking powder or yeast. They may also contain flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, fruits, nuts, or spices.

The term "nales" itself is quite general and can encompass many different forms of pastries. Some naless are small and individual, while others might be larger and intended to be shared. The dough can be enriched with milk or cream for a softer texture, or it can be a simpler, drier dough. Baking is usually done in an oven, though some varieties might be fried.

Culinary traditions around the world feature a vast array of naless. In many cultures, they are considered a breakfast item, a snack, or a dessert. Their popularity stems from their versatility and the satisfying combination of sweetness and a satisfying texture. The specific name and form of a nale can often be linked to its regional origin and the ingredients readily available there.
