The picarones are a sweet, ring-shaped fritter with a squash base served and sweetened with miel de chancaca (chancaca honey), a sweet sauce made of raw cane sugar and flavored with orange. They are eaten during El Señor de los Milagros celebrations (october) and has its origin in the colonial period. In Arequipa, they’re called buñuelos (but it’s not the same than the spanish ones). This recipe will sweeten the life of 8 – 10 people.
