Orozcas Courses

Orozcas are a type of traditional bar cookie that originated in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The name is derived from the Nahuatl word for "corn cookie," which is why they are often referred to as corn cookies in English. Orozcas are a simple mix of ingredients that include cornmeal, butter, eggs, baking powder, and sugar. This mixture is formed into small balls and then flattened and fried until golden brown. Orozcas are typically served as part of a meal or used in desserts, such as ice cream sundaes or tacos. These cookies are often sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar, and other spices. The nutty flavor of the cornmeal and sweetness of the sugar create a distinctive and tasty treat. Orozcas can also be served with a variety of toppings such as fruit jam, or melted chocolate. Orozcas are a popular part of Mexican culture, often served as a snack to children or as part of a celebration. They are easy to make at home and can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. With their crunchy texture and sweet flavor, orozcas make a delightful snack or finale to any special meal.
