San Isidro also for celiacs.
Updated on the day: 05/12/2021. The Prairie is still closed. This year there will be San Isidro festivities, but with more controlled cultural activities in terms of capacity and revelry. There will be no prairie, no festival, no silly donut stalls, lists, Santa Clara, French...** There will be concerts and, with distance and security measures, we will be able to continue dancing chotis in the open air. And of course you can take home a piece of the most traditional gastronomy of these dates: the rosquillas de santo.
Dumb, smart, from Santa Clara and French. Which prefer? The silly ones, as their name suggests, are the simplest, without coverage. The lists are bathed in fondant sugar, generally yellow from the lemon juice, although there are more and more colors and flavors. Those from Santa Clara have meringue (they are the white ones). And the French ones have chopped almonds on top.
Even though we can't go to the Pradera de San Isidro to take a mix of donuts, We can go to one of the historic pastry shops in Madrid to pick them up at their store or ask them to bring them home. We have been calling some of our favorites throughout the city (and the province) to find out their hours and services.
More than 100 years making donuts in Madrid.
The Majorcan
With more than 100 years of experience, La Mallorquina is as classic as the donuts that, of course, are sold out this May. Its two stores are open for pick-up: Puerta del Sol (from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) and Velázquez, 39 (from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). But also, They serve at home, boxes of 1/4, 1/2 kilo and as a gift (from 7 euros), they have lists, silly, from Santa Clara and from Alcalá (puff pastry covered with egg yolk and icing sugar).
The authentic donuts of San Isidro
Aunt Xavier she would be proud. This pastry chef is credited with the origin of the San Isidro donuts, she went to the Pradera every May 15 to sell her delicacy. And last year, like the people of Madrid, we couldn't go to the verbena, but a bit of the verbena was able to enter each house with the home delivery of her famous and traditional donuts. With the generic and direct name of Rosquillas de San Isidro, these pastry chefs who have been selling the sweet at a stand in the Pradera for 35 years have launched to repeat the initiative and serve them at home for another year. They can be ordered by phone or email. the box of a dozen assorted (lists of lemon and strawberry, silly and Santa Clara) costs 12 euros without shipping costs. They deliver between 2 and 5 days and throughout the Community of Madrid.
San Onofre Oven
Another bakery with tradition, in San Onofre they also sell the saint's donuts every year and this San Isidro could not be less. All its stores in Madrid are open. They are bought by weight or by units in the store or can be ordered at home, better from one day to the next.

For example, in the Manacor pastry shops, which bake them these days in all their premises, open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and with free home delivery for orders over 15 euros. The 500-gram tray costs 14.50 euros; the one of 1 kilo, 29 euros.
