spanish dessert recipes

Similarly, the majority of Spanish desserts originally came from Arabia.

When the arabs conquered spain, they brought with then the art of pastry-making, along with many of the ingredients used in Spanish desserts, like saffron, almonds, sugar, oil, honey, sweet potato, aromatic seeds and spices.

The Spanish have a lot of fried pastry as well, since in olden days, rural folk often didn’t have ovens to bake in. The special thing about Spanish recipes is that they often use olive oil as a substitute for butter.
