Roscón de Reyes . . . The Three Wise Men Cake . . .
Ya se acabo todo . . . bueno, me refiero a las fiestas Navideñas, es un sabor un tanto agridulce. En España se acaba con la fiesta que os comente el otro día de los Reyes Magos llegando el día 6 cargados de juguetes para los peques y el desayuno tradicional del día de Reyes es el Roscón, para muchos el Rey en si mismo del día. La verdad es que solo esta disponible unos días antes y solo para esas fechas, así que tenemos que esperar un año para volver a tenerlo. Las pastelerías en España trabajan esa noche toda la noche para tenerlos listos por la mañana.
And the party is over . . .well, I mean the festive season and it leaves a kind of sweet and sour taste in the mouth, at least for me. In Spain we finished with the Three Wise Men day (others call it Epiphany day or Little Christmas). The three wise men bring presents (mainly to children) and then the family together have a traditional breakfast where we have Roscon de Reyes, a traditional cake with a citrus aroma as orange flower water is used to make it. It is normally only available a few days before and after the 6th of January, then we have to wait until next year to have it again. Bakeries work all night on the 5th of January and some nights before due to the high demand.
Por suerte mi madre es una artista en hacer bollos y el roscón nos lo hace ella, en casa.
Ha utilizado esta receta. Para las que no conocéis este bollo tipico porque seáis de fuera de España, tiene un aroma citrico ya que el tradicional suele llevar agua de azahar. Se puede comer relleno de nata montada o sin relleno.
Y lo acompañamos de un buen chocolate caliente tradicional español, en mi casa usamos Valor.
We are lucky my mum is quite an artist at baking and she makes this cake for us, at home.
She used this recipe (sorry is only in Spanish). It can filled with whipped cream or just plain. And a must is to have it with a good traditional Spanish hot chocolate, in my family we use Valor (a brand).
