Conejito

Conejos, also known as Conejitos or Conejitos chilenos, are a beloved Chilean pastry that you absolutely must try. Consider them a cousin to the berliner, but with a unique twist—they're baked rather than fried. These delightful treats are baked to perfection.

It all begins with the dough, a harmonious blend of flour, eggs, sugar, milk, leavening agents, and butter. This mixture yields a soft, tender base that's just waiting to be filled.

And the filling is where the true magic happens. The interior of a Conejo is packed with a luscious crème pâtissière made from cornstarch, egg yolks, milk, sugar, and a hint of vanilla. This rich, creamy center perfectly complements the doughy exterior.

These pastries are not just popular—they're a staple in Chilean bakeries and households. Whether enjoyed with a morning cup of coffee or as a sweet afternoon treat, Conejos are sure to bring a smile to your face.
