Bunyols de carabassa · Valencia
Bunyols de carabassa are Valencia's pumpkin doughnuts: a Fallas-season-only fried sweet ring of pumpkin-and-yeast dough, sugared and eaten hot from the fryer.
Bunyols de carabassa (pumpkin doughnuts) are the canonical Fallas-week sweet, sold from street stalls across Valencia during the March 15-19 festival (and the first half of March). The dough mixes mashed pumpkin with a yeast starter, fried in olive oil and dusted with sugar. The tradition runs back at least to the 18th century. Outside Fallas season, the bunyols are hard to find; Horchateria Daniel keeps a year-round version on the carte.
