Orejones

The name of this crunchy, sugary pastry alludes to their shape. You will find enormous ears in Mexican bakeries, but I’ve made smaller ones, which are perfect to serve for brunch or with coffee. They’re traditionally made with puff pastry, but I’ve used a mock puff recipe so you can make them at home easily, with less guilt (there is much less butter), and still have plenty of flavor and texture. I like to keep the ready made dough in the freezer so I always have them on hand for guests.
