La infancia.
Two crumbling cornstarch cookies, a heart of dulce de leche, a coat of coconut — the Río de la Plata's childhood in one bite.
alfajoral-fa-HOR
Spanish ‹ Andalusi Arabic al-ḥašú, 'the filling, the stuffing'Eight centuries of Al-Andalus in a cookie — the article al- still attached.
The alfajor traveled from the Arab world through Andalusia and landed in the Río de la Plata, where it became a national food group. The maicena version — cornstarch shortbread that dissolves on contact — is the one every abuela keeps in a tin.
Ours are pressed around real dulce de leche and rolled in coconut, exactly like the ones in the tin.
By the piece or by the box — they travel well and survive poorly.
Two crumbling cornstarch shortbread cookies sandwiching dulce de leche, rolled in coconut — the childhood cookie of Argentina and Uruguay.
Beautifully — they were made for the cookie tin. By the piece or by the box at our counters; they survive the ride and rarely survive the evening.
Made in our own kitchen, fresh or frozen, ready for the parrilla or the table.
