What is "fartons"

Fartons (, sing. ; ) are confectionery sweets typical of the Valencian town of Alboraya, Spain. Elongated and glazed with sugar, they are made of flour, milk, sugar, oil, eggs and a leavening agent.

This delicate and spongy sweet was made to be dipped in orxata (or horchata), a drink made of tigernuts that is served cold, but fartons can also be eaten with hot beverages such as hot chocolate or caffè latte.
