Palecas Courses

Palecas - also known as peccarons, pacarones, paccarones, paccaritos, or pacaratas - are a type of fried dough pastry from the Buenos Aires region of Argentina. The dough is made from a combination of flour, milk, salt, sugar, eggs, and baking powder, and is fried until golden brown. Palecas are sometimes filled with a sweet filling such as jam, dulce de leche or chocolate. They can also be eaten plain with a cup of coffee. Palecas are a popular Argentinian food and are served as an accompaniment to many meals, such as soups, stews, and grilled meats. They are also often eaten as a snack, either plain or covered with sugar or dulce de leche. Palecas are a popular treat for children and are often served at birthday parties. Traditionally, the dough is hand-rolled and cut into small discs and fried in hot oil until golden and crispy. The dough itself is usually flavored with aniseed liqueur, giving them a unique flavor. Palecas are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by all. Whether eaten plain or filled with something sweet, they are sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
