¡Hoy es miércoles melado! (Today is honey-colored Wednesday!)
La fecha es el quince (15) de diciembre del año dos mil veintiuno. (The date is December 15, 2021.)
El postre de la semana es: alfajores. (The dessert of the week is: alfajores.)
Alfajor comes from the Arabic word al-fakher, which means “luxurious.” In my opinion, these sandwich cookies are truly luxurious when it comes to taste.
The ingredients and structure of confections called alfajor in Spanish-speaking countries vary. In South America, the most common alfajor is two round cookies with dulce de leche in between them.
I admit that I have a weakness for the white chocolate-coated alfajores that I was introduced to in Argentina.
Los ingredientes de alfajores son: (The ingredients of alfajores are:)
| harina | (flour) |
| yemas de huevo | (egg yolks) |
| leche | (milk) |
| vinagre | (vinegar) |
| manteca / mantequilla | (butter) |
| dulce de leche |
I would like to share a Chilean interpretation of alfajores with you. You know which ingredientes you need, so check out what to do with them with this recipe. ¡Qué dulce! (How sweet!)
¡Que tengas un miércoles monumental! (May you have a monumental Wednesday!)
