What is panocha pastry?

Panocha pastry is a traditional sweet treat in Mexican and Spanish cuisine. It is made by mixing piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar), cinnamon, and water, then cooking it down to make a thick syrup. This syrup is then poured over a layer of dough and baked until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Panocha pastry is typically served warm and is often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions. It has a rich, sweet flavor with notes of caramel and cinnamon. The pastry is often garnished with powdered sugar or served with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Panocha pastry can be found in bakeries and markets in Mexico and other Latin American countries. It is a popular dessert that is loved for its comforting and indulgent taste.
