Cream Ensaimada

The Cream Ensaimada is one of our special recommendations. Minorca has a special tradition with bakery industry, and a lot of desserts and typical products are filled with cream.

For this reason, the cream ensaimada is one of the most special varieties of ensaimada. If you are looking for a Cream Ensaimada in our Online Shop you can find it in two different sizes. 

Our receipt keeps the same from 1873, and it is a tradicional and artisan receipt. The ensaimada is a product that keeps remaining in Minorca, by the way is one of the favorite souvenirs for tourists. It is a typical bakery product, ingredients are so common: flour, sugar, eggs and lard.

The name of the ensaimada comes from the word “saïm“, it is how people in Mallorca says lard. Nowadays ensaimadas keep made as they used to many years ago, and we really think that ensaimadas should keep this essence of tradition.

We don’t just have sobrasada ensaimadas, in Sa Sucreria we make sobrasada ensaimadas, chocolate ensaimadas, pumpkin jam ensaimadas and ensaimadas without filling, if you have never tasted this typical minorcan food we really recommend it to you.

If you want to enjoy your ensaimada the most, we really recommend you to follow the steps below:

• Unpack the ensaimada and let it rest a few minutes.
• Preheat your oven at 180º, turn off the oven and put the ensaimada in, but don’t do it more than 5 minutes.
• Use a strainer to sprinkle all the powdered sugar on the ensaimada.
