About the dish

Roscos fritos are typical Spanish desserts that are similar to donuts, but they have a different texture and are a bit sweeter than regular donuts. Also, roscos are often rolled in sugar after being fried. The dough is prepared with a combination of eggs, sugar, flour, oil, and grated lemon rind. It is shaped into donut rings, then fried until golden. Although the place of origin of roscos fritos is thought to be in Andalusia, these sweet treats are nowadays consumed throughout the country, especially during the Easter festivities.
