Ensaimada Antigo (Old fashioned Kapampangan Ensaimada)

Ensaïmada, ensaymada The Ensaimada is a pastry product from Majorca', Spain. It is a common delicacy eaten in most former Spanish territories in Latin America and the Philippines, which has been made and eaten for a very long time. The first written references to the Majorcan ensaïmada date back to the 17th century. At that time, although wheat flour was mainly used for making bread, there is evidence that this typical pastry product was made for festivals and celebrations. In the Philippines, the Majorcan ensaïmada (commonly spelled ensaymada in most Philippine languages) has evolved over the centuries and is perhaps one the most common delicacies in this country. It is a brioche made with butter instead of lard, and topped with grated cheese (usually aged Edam, known locally as "queso de bola") and sugar. Upscale versions of ensaymada are also topped with butter cream. It is extremely popular throughout the islands, especially during the Christmas season, when it is often, although not always, eaten with hot native chocolate. Majorca ("Mallorca" in Spanish and Catalan) is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea, one of the Balearic Islands. It is largest by area and second most populated island of Spain (after Tenerife in the Canary Islands).
