My son & I always watched your wonderful videos together ❤. He passed away a year ago and I haven’t been able to bring myself together enough to do anything we used to do together until your video today 😢. It is crazy on what triggers me since he has passed away! So I watched my favorite channel Food Wishes and cried all the way through it. Thank you for being a good memory that my son and I shared.

¡Simplemente hermosas!
En México se suelen disfrutar en cualquier día, acompañadas del café mañanero o chocolate caliente.
Su sabor tradicional suele ser Chocolate o Vainilla pero eso no le quita merito a lo deliciosas que se ven.
¡Muchas felicidades por su resultado! se agradece enormemente ver recetas de mi país con toques de otras regiones del mundo. ❤

Your comment on walking to school uphill both ways got a sensible chuckle out of me

I Googled “conchas” and I got so many lovely patterns. I saw a picture of a rose one. I may have to try that! So pretty. Thank you for the recipe; you always bring us something new!

Chef John, A Delight as always. I'm a US expat living in Oaxaca Mexico. I've been here since 1987 and in the 90s, after obtaining a series of Mexican cookbooks I decided to try to make conchas. I'm fascinated by what goes on in the mind of a cook when executing a recipe. I find for me, I ALWAYS have to have the recipe in front of me, otherwise there's no telling what might go wrong or be left out, even if I'm going to wildly change the recipe I need to note that down in the right hand margin of the recipe. I think that cooking is such a complex process that's it's very easy to not only get distracted, but do things you just KNOW aren't going to do any good 🤣. You asked why did I do that? I think that's the working explaination. Thank you for your very amusing expose on what goes through our minds while trying to make something delicious. All the best Jim Oaxaca .

My Tia would be proud of you Chef John.

These are great! Just one thing: conchas traditionally do not have a hard sugar topping. It’s supposed to be soft with a risk of falling off when you eat it which can be messy but deliciously fun! Thanks for the video! 🎉

Mexican here: if you’re an 80s child and not afraid of calories you can switch the butter for Crisco for the Top mix, that makes the conchas truly taste like Mexican conchas 😅

My grandmother used to say that an ugly cake usually taste better than a perfect one. I know that your scones tasted good because you had one that did not come out perfect, great job I will be trying this for the holidays.

This reminded me so much of Japanese melonpan/メロンパン that I've wanted to make again for a while. Maybe I'll give this cousin of it a try! Thank you for the recipe with the seasonal twist, Chef John :)

[edwardarquette]

Excellent! I was just looking for a recipe to mess around with, then my favorite chef posts this! It was meant to be!

[sepand]

WOOOHOOO, the intersection we didn't know we needed

[killereria]

This is perfect for my hubbie who is a basic white girl when it comes to pumpkin flavored stuff
