Frixuelos, frisuelos or fayuelos are one of the typical desserts from Asturias that can also be found in other areas of northwestern Spain, such as León. Moreover, they are especially typical during the Antroxu; the Asturian Carnival. The origin of this sweet is uncertain, but it is known that it was prepared with the flour of the grain that was grown in each area (wheat, corn, rye) and sweetened with what each town had (honey, fruit, butter, liquor). This explains the great variety of frixuelos that exist in northern Spain.
This Asturian dessert could be defined as a kind of very thin pancake, whose main ingredients are flour, milk, eggs, anisette and sugar. In addition, over the years it has been common to have them filled with nocilla, dulce de leche, pastry cream, chestnut cream, etc. It is also common to find comparisons between frixuelos and crepes or filloas. Compared to crepes, their composition is different as they include anisette; and, compared to filloas, frixuelos are traditionally served with a layer of sugar in the form of syrup that is created when they are piled up.
