This is how the people of Madrid traditionally call the donuts that are made here and particularly by San Isidro. They are made with the same dough, (flour, egg, oil, sugar, lemon peel, glass of anise), but have a different finish. The lists are coated with a yellowish quasi-liquid paste of water, sugar and lemon juice. Fools go naked. We also have the French ones, created by the pastry chef of Fernando VI, battered with granulated almonds and those of Santa Clara with meringue.
