About Casquinha de pastel
Casquinha de Pastel is a crispy Brazilian snack derived from pastel, a popular street food. This item is essentially the golden, fried shell without its typical fillings, offering a crunch-focused experience. Traditionally made from a dough of wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes oil or lard, the pastel shell is rolled thin and fried until airy and crisp. Although delicious, it is high in refined carbohydrates and contains fats due to the frying process, making it more of an indulgent treat than a healthful choice. While not a significant source of nutrients, its light and satisfying texture make it a crowd favorite at gatherings or as a side accompaniment to more nutritious dishes. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or lean protein can balance its caloric load. Originating in Brazil but influenced by immigrant culinary traditions, Casquinha de Pastel embodies the country’s love of flavorful, shareable foods.
