Puerquitos (Marranitos)

So, it was one year ago this month that mi amiga Leslie and I headed into the kitchen to start our She Made, Ella Hace journey together.  Over the past year we've made everything from Mole to Ponche Navideno, Sopa de Fideo to Atole.  We've made tamales and cocktails and some chorizo may have even been made from scratch or baked into a mouthwatering loaf of bread and we've even made paletas.  But the thing that we started with one year ago was one of my all-time favorite treats, Conchas.

In honor of our one-year "anniversary", Leslie suggested that we head into la cocina and bake up some more Pan Dulce.  You know, a nod to the thing that started it all.  Hey, who am I to argue with reasoning like that?  So I racked my brain trying to decide what I wanted to make this month.  And I was still struggling at the halfway mark.  I found an idea or two and then asked Leslie what she was making.  Well, she said Chorreadas.  I had no clue what those were, but when I heard queso and piloncillo, I knew I'd be smitten once I saw her post.  I told her I still wasn't sure what I wanted to make, so she suggested Puerquitos.
