• 1  teaspoon matalahúva grains

​

Preparation

​

To prepare this dessert, the pieces of hard bread are fried in a pan, to turn them into tostones; gilded, they will be allowed to drain on absorbent paper so that they are not greasy. In the pan we pour seven tablespoons of oil with matalahúva grains and half a kilo of wheat flour, which we fry without getting toasted. We will then pour a liter of water / milk little by little, moving with the rasera, with the worry that no lumps are made. When we see a pasty and homogeneous body they will be ready. Let stand a few minutes, add the tostones that we previously fried, drizzle with honey or sugar and sprinkle the cinnamon. It is very typical to eat them in the pan. Bon appetit and don't get them in your face.
