Ensaimada is a delicious traditional Spanish pastry, originating from the Balearic Islands, and is usually made from a yeast dough, similar to that used for pastries. However, angel hair ensaimada is a variation of this dessert that incorporates a special filling called "angel hair".

Angel hair, also known as "cabello de ángel" in Spanish, is made from thin strands of pumpkin or fruit cider, cooked with sugar to obtain a delicate, slightly translucent and sweet jam. This filling is often used in various Spanish and Portuguese desserts.

So, angel hair ensaimada combines that delicious sweet angel hair filling with the soft, flaky texture of traditional ensaimada. The dough is usually braided or spiraled, then stuffed with the angel hair jam before being baked until golden brown.

This dessert features a sweet and slightly fruity flavor thanks to the angel hair jam, while the texture of the pastry is soft on the inside with a deliciously crispy outer crust. It is often dusted with icing sugar for a final touch of sweetness.

Angel hair ensaimada is often enjoyed as a dessert or sweet snack, accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea, and is prized for its subtle flavors and light, deliciously flaky texture.
