The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

A bisquet, a basket

January 27, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

My current favorite morning/afternoon/whenever snack in Mexico City: Hot bisquets with butter and jam. They’re pronounced like “bis-KET” and they don’t really taste like biscuits at all. They’re dense and sweet, slightly crisp on the outside, and made with either white or wheat flour. They pretty much blow bland English muffins out of the water.

Here are the ones I got at The Break, a coffee shop near my house. (If anyone’s wondering, “wireless Internet” is the same in English and Spanish.)
