in times of festivities and celebration, supermarket shelves are filled with nougats, polvorones and chocolates; and Aldi is no exception. The German chain has deployed the arsenal of sweet buns to celebrate with a good roscón the arrival of the day of Kings.
of the line The oven, the supermarket’s brand of bread and pastries, have stuffed options, with cream or truffle and a last one, which combines cream and cocoa to have both flavors in a heavenly bite. Distributed by Vircar Panificación SL in the Madrid region, it is marketed in boxes of 700 g, 450 g and 220 g for less than 8 euros. Very easy to identify because of its donut shape, the bun has its origins in a Christian festival from the 11th century.
Wheat floursunflower oil, sugar, pasteurized liquid egg, preservatives and emulsifiers, listed in the dough scented with vanilla, orange zest and orange blossom water. While pearl sugar, almonds, oranges and candied pumpkins make the decoration. It is one of the most popular roscones for its price-quality ratio and spongy texture. As for its nutritional quality, for each 60-gram portion it provides 216 calories and 6.1 grams of fat. It contains a lot of sugar, so occasional consumption is recommended, just at parties. For every 100 gr it provides 17.6 grams of sugar.
The mini version of Aldi that is filled with cream and decorated with almonds and candied fruits for less than 4 euros to give as a gift or treat yourself on these dates also comes out very well. Unlike other supermarkets, Aldi thinks of the smallest of the house too, since the box includes figures of kings and bean to play the morning of January 6. Because few things are so Christmassy with the Roscón de Reyes that both children and adults like.
To make it homemade, we propose the traditional recipe, the chocolate roscón, even to be made in Thermomix, there is a gluten-free option for celiac and intolerant diners and one without eggs or dairy to surprise vegan guests.
