About the dish

Mustachos de Utrera are traditional Spanish cookies hailing from a small town near Sevilla called Utrera. These light sponge biscuits are usually made with a combination of egg whites, egg yolks, flour, sugar, and cinnamon. In order to prepare them, the egg whites are whisked with sugar, followed by the addition of egg yolks. The flour and cinnamon mixture is then folded into the egg-and-sugar mixture, and the dollops are then dropped on greased paper and shaped into moustaches. They’re baked until crisp, golden, and ready to eat.
