Garra de oso y rosquilla: qué las diferencia y cuándo son lo mismo
La garra de oso horneada al estilo danés se elabora con una masa mantecosa, mientras que la rosquilla es una masa fermentada que se fríe.
The question of whether a bear's paw is a doughnut has a yes and no answer. To find out, it's helpful to first know what a bear's paw is.
Danish-style baked bear claws are made with milk, yeast, flour, sugar, butter or shortening, and egg. The dough resembles that of a tart, resulting in a delicate, buttery, layered pastry.
Doughnuts, on the other hand, are made with fermented dough, with or without yeast, which is rolled out and cut into circles with a hole in the center. They are not baked, but fried in hot oil.
The original Sacramento bear claws, and those made in a similar way today, are not doughnuts. But some doughnut shops sell claws that resemble them: if they're fried, fluffy, and glazed, they're doughnuts, even if they're filled or sprinkled with flaked almonds.
Those who prefer Danish-style claw would be better off looking for it in a bakery than a donut shop.
