Those who celebrate Epifan a, also known as the D a de Los Reyes, the celebration of the duod on the night after Navidad ends on January 6th, can put their zapatos outside the door to receive gifts, watch annual parades, participate in fiestas, or indulge in a rosca de reyes dessert.
In the story of the three magicians in the Evangelio de San Mateo, who bring gifts to Jesus, the postor took his name. Many Christian traditions celebrate Epifan, which is a day of obligation in the Catholic Church that falls between February 2 and February 8.
The pastel de rey is also a staple during the Mardi Gras season, which starts on January 6 and ends on the day before the Mi rcoles de Ceniza, which takes place on March 4 this year. Despite the popularity of the postre in the United States, the roots of the pastel of reyes can be found in European medieval traditions, especially in Spain and France.
In many cultures, the pastel de rey or rosca de reyes takes on different forms. While the rosca de reyes in Latin America is a pan dulce anillo adorned with secas, in France it is a galette des rois, a quebrada rellena de crema de almendras.
After being introduced to Louisiana by French and Spanish colonists in the 18th century, delicia evolved to become a staple of Mardi Gras in the United States. This pastel in the New Orleans style is made of brioche and decorated with a variety of colors.
In all of these traditions, the symbol “com” refers to a small picture of a baby or other similar object that is hidden inside the pastel. The unfortunate ganador is the one who almost eats the figure in his pastels.
The award varies depending on the culture, but it may include good fortune for the next person or being crowned king or queen by a d a, which may involve wearing a crown of papel. The winner also frequently gets a task, which could include making tamales, planning a fiesta, or purchasing the pr ximo pastel of rey.
Next, some of the traditional and symbolic elements that are typical of each kind of the pastel de rey are shown.
Rosca de reyes
Laversi is a Latin American adel pastel of rey that is shaped like an oval anillo with multicolored, seca fruits that represent the joys of the magos’ coronas. The rosca de reyes, also known as the corona de los reyes, is smooth and lightly endulzada, with a taste reminiscent of canela and c tricos. A relleno de dulce o frutas is included in some versions.
The children usually enjoy this pan on the sixth of January along with champurrado, a Mexican chocolate beverage with special ingredients. According to Mexican tradition, the individual who has the figure of Beb (also known as Ni or Dios) in their rebanada is responsible for planning a celebration or making treats for the second day of February, which is the Day of the Candelaria.
The owners, Gabriel and Josue Azcorra, make roscas de reyes inspired by their Mexican heritage in Lapanader a Dos Hermanos on Southeast Stark. According to Josue, it’s a way to bring the family back together because the rosca grande is better enjoyed with a companion. Their variation includes frutas secas to symbolize the magos’ gifts and pasta of azure car amarilla to symbolize the azure. For the celebration of the sixth of January, Rosca Solo is offered.
Galette des rois
France’s Lagalette des roisThey are distinguished by their quebrada masa and almendra crema relleno, also known as frangipane. This kind is most useful in dulzura and frequently has an underlying pattern in its dorada corteza. Instead of a beb figure, it has a small porcelana object called “f ve,” which is translated as “haba.” Occasionally, the object is re-emplazad with a second frijol, which is a reference to the original five in medieval France.
Fortunately, the f ve is crowned king or queen by a d a and wears a crown of papel, which is frequently offered with the postre. In France, the royal dinner is frequently enjoyed during the entire month of January, which makes it a long-standing culinary tradition connected to the Epifan.
As a sign of good fortune for the next generation, Lapanader a St. Honor Boulangerie, which has several stores in Portland, sells galette des rois throughout the month of January. The pasteles are made at request and include a little, variable porcelana object. They can find a beb, an estrella, a ngel, or a granja animal within their gallery of rois, all of which are symbolic of the Christian scene. Each piece of little or medium-sized pastel also has a paper corona.
Pastel de rey de Nueva Orleans
In the United States, the pastel de rey has become the centerpiece of Louisiana’s colorful Mardi Gras celebrations.This version, with its smooth brioche mass, is pictured on a valo and covered with a glass or car of the Mardi Gras colors: purple for justice, green for faith, and dorado for power.
They range from the traditional canela to more decadent options like chocolate, mermelada de frutas, pralin, or cheese crema. The figure, often a small or small piece of plaster, falls within, and finding it usually means taking on the duty of purchasing or obtaining the pr ximo pastel for the temporary celebrations.
Chef and owner Bonnie Ward Strauss of Gris Gris Kitchen, a new restaurant in the south of Portland, has brought back the rey pastel pedidos for the Mardi Gras season with a variety of New Orleans-style rey pastel dishes. Additionally, Strauss offers chocolate, cheese crema, canela and az car pasteles, and cubiertos with pralins. On the salad side, Gris Gris Kitchen offers caj n rellenos such boudin, cangrejo, queso, and jalapeño mermelada. Each request includes a beb, a corona, and collares de cuentas.
