Miguelitos are a type of cream-filled puff pastry, which can also be referred to as a cake. They originated in La Roda, in Castilla–La Mancha, Spain: Manuel Blanco, the creator of these flaky desserts, was born in La Roda in 1925. After being a part of the military in 1960 he migrated to a place called Pamplona where his masterpiece was created. The name Miguelito came after he decided to give his friend Miguel the first bite of his creation; from there the name stuck.[1] La Roda de Albacete started to be known with various pastry chefs throughout Spain, causing the expansion of the dessert.
