Macheteadas

Macheteadas is a traditional snack. This sweet and dense fried dough is usually prepared with leftover baleada flour tortilla dough. It consists of flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, coconut oil, and warm water, sometimes with the addition of milk and eggs. The dough is fried in oil until golden brown on both sides. Warm macheteadas are sometimes served for breakfast, drizzled with honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup, and it's recommended to serve them with a cup of milk or coffee on the side.
