Español: ¿Sabes qué es un hornazo?
El hornazo es una torta, habitualmente dulce, elaborada a base de masa de pan y decorada con diferentes ingredientes según las zonas, como huevos, almendras, azúcar, algunas especias… Su elaboración y consumo están muy extendidos en múltiples variantes locales en el periodo de Semana Santa. Del proceso de cristianización de estos rituales paganos parece derivar la costumbre de decorar las tortas con cruces, hechas con tiras de masa, que generalmente se colocan sobre uno o varios huevos para afirmarlos en el hornazo. También podemos encontrarlo con forma de figuras o animales, aunque esta tendencia es más reciente. La presencia de los huevos en esta fecha, al final del tiempo penitencial, parece derivar de la prohibición de comer huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerados como carne hasta 1784. La reintroducción de los huevos en la dieta del periodo de Cuaresma ha sido acompañada por un proceso de resignificación de este alimento como símbolo de la vida y de la resurrección. Los hornazos se hacían normalmente en las casas particulares utilizando el propio horno de leña o bien se llevaban a hornear a la tahona. Aunque todavía hay familias que siguen esta tradición, en muchos casos son elaborados en las panaderías y pastelerías locales. Es un dulce representativo de Semana Santa, aunque también se puede preparar durante el año. En la Guía Digital del Patrimonio Cultural de Andalucía podrás saber más sobre esta dulce tradición.English: Do you know what a hornazo is?
The hornazo is a cake, usually sweet, made from bread dough and decorated with different ingredients depending on the area, such as eggs, almonds, sugar, some spices... Its preparation and consumption are widespread in multiple local variants in the period of Holy Week. From the Christianization process of these pagan rituals seems to derive the custom of decorating the cakes with crosses, made with strips of dough, which are generally placed on one or several eggs to fix them in the hornazo. We can also find it in the form of figures or animals, although this trend is more recent. The presence of eggs on this date, at the end of penitential season, seems to derive from the prohibition of eating eggs during Lent, considered as meat until 1784. The reintroduction of eggs in the diet of the Lenten period has been accompanied by a resignification process of this food as a symbol of life and resurrection. The hornazos were normally made in private homes using their own wood-fired oven or they were taken to the bakery to bake. Although there are still families that follow this tradition, in many cases they are made in local bakeries and pastry shops. It is a representative sweet of Holy Week, although it can also be prepared during the year. In the Digital Guide to the Cultural Heritage of Andalusia you can learn more about this sweet tradition. |
