Ensaimadas rellenas de cabello de angel - or - why I have stopped losing two kilos a month

How to make one.



Where they come from.



Confession: I would never have guessed pumpkin. Mme Cyn has tried to persuade me of the delights of pumpkin pie. I have remained politely sceptical.



Note to Mme. Cyn: Ooooooooh! Why didn't you TELL me?!?!


The last time I was so utterly seduced by a toothsome and calorie-packed goodie of this magnitude was in 1987, when I discovered the apple dumplings baked fresh every morning at the bakery on the corner of Whitehall Road in Bristol. Here's a recipe. It looks pretty close to the original to me.

Nyah, Nyah! Told you so! Although for me, pumpkin with white sugar and no spices?.... hmmmm... a little brown sugar and nutmeg would go down well here...
