Hojaldras, also called hojuelas in Colombia, are thin strips of fried dough with a crisp texture and gentle sweetness. You make them with flour, butter, sugar, and orange, then dust them with sugar after frying. They are especially popular during Christmas, when families serve them with natilla and bu\u00f1uelos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although people also enjoy them as a snack during the year, hojaldras are closely connected with Colombian Christmas novenas and family gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 250 g all-purpose flour (2 cups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 30 g granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 30 g unsalted butter, softened (2 tablespoons)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 120 ml orange juice (\u00bd cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 5 g orange zest (1 tablespoon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 750 ml vegetable oil (3 cups), for frying<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 50 g granulated sugar (\u00bc cup), for dusting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Make the dough,<\/strong> place the flour and 30 g sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with your hands until the mixture looks sandy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Add the orange zest and orange juice gradually. Knead for 4 to 5 minutes until you have a smooth, soft, firm dough that is not overly sticky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and let it rest for 20 minutes so it relaxes and becomes easier to roll out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Roll and cut,<\/strong> lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out very thin, about 3 mm thick. Cut strips about 3 cm wide and 10 cm long. Make a small slit in the center of each strip when you want a more traditional shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Fry the hojaldras,<\/strong> heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry a few strips at a time for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until puffed and golden. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Dust the hojaldras with the remaining sugar while they are still warm. Serve them once they are crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Chef\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Roll the dough as thinly as possible for a light, crisp result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Avoid frying too many pieces at once because the oil temperature may drop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Keep the heat at medium-high; oil that is not hot enough can make the hojaldras greasy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sprinkle the sugar on while they are warm so it adheres well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Some families make hojaldras with egg and a pinch of salt, while others prefer the orange-flavored version. You can also serve them with panela syrup, although plain sugar is one of the most familiar finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Serve hojaldras freshly made, on their own or alongside Colombian natilla and bu\u00f1uelos during Christmas celebrations. They also pair well with hot chocolate, coffee with milk, or hot panela drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Recommended accompaniments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Colombian natilla<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colombian bu\u00f1uelos<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hot chocolate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Coffee with milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hot panela drink<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          A culinary curiosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Hojuelas are among the fried treats most closely associated with Colombian Christmas. Many families prepare large batches to share during novenas, the gatherings held from December 16 through December 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
