Huevos Chilenos - Ecuadorian Mini Donut Centers

The "Chilean eggs" are a typical sweets from Ecuador.

They are a sort of donut or mini donut centers.

Why they are called Chilean when they are from Ecuador is a mystery to me.

The egg part is a bit more understandable, since they are small, about the size of an egg, and round.

But not exactly egg shaped.

The most important thing about them is that they are very delicious.

They are a very popular street food and sold everywhere.

But can also easily be made at home.
