Nuégados are crispy fried dumplings made from yucca, masa, or cornmeal, shaped into small rounds or discs and deep-fried, then soaked in or served with a warm panela (cane sugar) syrup flavored with cinnamon and cloves. A beloved Salvadoran dessert, especially in Sonsonate, La Paz, and other rural towns, nuégados are often enjoyed with a cup of Chilate for afternoon snack time or during festive gatherings. Their golden crust and soft interior create a perfect contrast to the sticky, aromatic syrup.

Common variations include nuégados de yuca and nuégados de maíz, depending on the base dough.
