Barquinha

Barquinha is a traditional Portuguese dessert made from rolled pastry filled with a sweet, cinnamon-flavored filling, typically consisting of dried figs, nuts, or other fruits. The filled pastries are often shaped into small cylinders or rolls and baked until golden, resulting in a crispy exterior and a rich, flavorful interior. Originating from the central region of Portugal, Barquinha is enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, representing a delicious blend of textures and aromatic spices that highlight Portugal’s culinary heritage.
