Bisquets
Homemade Mexican bisquets, freshly baked with a tender, lightly flaky texture and golden crust. Served warm with butter and jam. A classic of Mexican bakeries and cafés.
Dish story
Bisquets are a beloved staple of Mexican bakeries and cafés. Inspired by Anglo-American biscuits, they arrived in Mexico over a century ago and gradually evolved into a uniquely Mexican recipe: lightly flaky, soft inside and golden on the outside, traditionally served warm with butter and jam or enjoyed alongside coffee or hot chocolate.
Today, bisquets remain one of Mexico's most cherished bakery classics, bringing back memories of family breakfasts and afternoon treats.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala in Madrid, we knead and bake our Mexican bisquets from scratch in our own kitchen using a completely artisan process.
Served warm, they celebrate the simplicity and comforting flavour of one of Mexico's most iconic bakery classics.
Main ingredients
Butter is the defining ingredient of a great bisquet. It provides the delicate flaky texture, rich aroma and tender crumb that have made this Mexican bakery classic so popular for generations.
