In Mexico, Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. To commemorate this day, Mexican families create an altar in honor of their deceased loved ones and place their favorite dishes on it, including pan de muerto. This delicious treat is called “pan de muerto” because it is a round cake resembling a “skull” and decorated with “bones” of a skeleton.

  • Put the dough in a previously greased bowl, cover, and let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface, punch down the center, and after removing some air, divide it into small portions of 80 grams. Set aside one portion for the bones of the pan de muerto.
  • With each division, make a uniform ball and then create a hole in the center to put a tablespoon of McCormick® Strawberry Guava Jam as filling. Wrap the filling and form a ball.Place the balls on a baking tray.
  • For the crust: mix the butter, powdered sugar, and flour until forming a uniform dough.Separate small balls from this mixture and cover the spaces between the bones with them.
  • Bake the pan de muerto style conchas at 180 °C for 30 minutes. Once out of the oven, brush the bones with butter and sprinkle with a little sugar and enjoy.
