Rosquillas are traditionally baked in a wood-fired clay oven and dunked in black coffee.
Nixtamalized corn dough is mixed with aged cheese, egg and lard, shaped into small rings, and baked until crisp and dry. Market stalls in Nicoya and Liberia sell them stacked in tall glass jars, often alongside coffee.
Why it's made this way: Guanacaste's corn traditions, inherited from its Chorotega indigenous roots, combined with the cheese of its ranching economy to make the rosquilla one of the province's best-known snacks.
