Easy
  • Preheat oven to 356 ºF.
  • Mix dry yeast and milk. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, vanilla essence, eggs, milk, and orange zest. Mix to a homogeneous dough.
  • Add butter little by little and continue mixing until a homogeneous and elastic dough is obtained.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with a wet cloth or plastic wrap. Let rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles its size.
  • For the crust: Mix butter, icing sugar, and flour. Knead until thoroughly incorporated being careful not to overheat. Divide dough in half and add cocoa to one half. Set aside.
  • Weigh 1.7-ounce portions and ball them on a floured surface. Transfer dough balls to a cupcake pan with liners.
  • Transfer crust dough to a plastic wrap-lined surface and roll out using a rolling pin. Cut crust into circles about the same size as the dough balls. Using a knife, slightly cut squares on the crust or use a concha cutter.
  • Cover manteconchas with vanilla and chocolate crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until done. Let cool and serve manteconchas.
