Ensaimada is a traditional pastry from the Balearic Islands of Spain, with roots dating back to the 17th century. This sweet spiral-shaped treat is made from a dough of flour, eggs, sugar, and lard, giving it its distinctively rich and flaky texture. It is often sprinkled with powdered sugar and can be filled with ingredients such as cream, custard, or even savory options like sobrasada. While its soft, buttery layers make it a beloved indulgence, Ensaimada is high in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, which may not align with certain dietary goals. On the positive side, its occasional pairing with nuts or fruit fillings can provide nutrients like fiber and healthy fats. A moderate serving can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, though it is best treated as an occasional treat rather than a regular staple.
