Cochinitos de piloncillo are an oven-cooked pastry which forms a part of the Huastecan gastronomy in the northern section of the Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. The type of bread these treats are made from is chichimbré, the name chichimbré is a deformation of gingerbread. Gingerbread was brought by the English to Mexico during and after the First World War for the extraction of oil in Mexico, today ginger is no longer added, but instead other spices such as cinnamon and anise[1][2]
