They are deep-fried dough balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, typically dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Variations exist across Latin America, reflecting local ingredients and customs. In Mexico, they are commonly served with syrup or as a sweet treat during celebrations, symbolizing joy and community.
