The ensaïmada is a pastry product from Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, commonly found in southwestern Europe, Latin America and the Philippines.

The ensaïmada de Mallorca is made with strong flour, water, sugar, eggs, mother dough and a kind of reduced pork lard (called saïm in Catalan) which gives the pastry its name.

The pastry apparently has a Jewish origin, deriving from bulemas, using lard instead of olive oil as a means of escaping the suspicions of authorities during the Inquisition.

Due to its popularity, bakeshop chains such as Goldilocks, Red Ribbon, Julie's, Pan de Manila, and Balai Pandesal offer ensaymada with their own recipes.

In Puerto Rico, another Spanish colony until 1898, the ensaïmada is called pan de mallorca[3] and is traditionally eaten for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
