Mmmm, them are my favoritos, wanted to ask if posibbly that was Blue Bird flour? & could crisco be used instead of manteca? Thought bischochitos are made with fresh orange juice, or brandy.

Sylvia, welcome to my kitchen, yes, I use Blue Bird Flour, you can use crisco it changes the flavor is my opinion, and if you would like to use wine, brandy or orange juice it is always a option, my Mother only used water so this is how I learned.

My grandma would make chaquea something like that it was like white grits n then poured red chili over it

[@monicaolguin1858]

My mother used to draw a knife through the rolled out dough to make square shapes for Christmas biscochitos. Then she would form each cookie into shapes. 1) mariposa to represent the resurrection of Christ 2) a corona for Christ the King 3) flor de lis -don’t remember what that represents and 4) I can’t for the life of me remember what the forth shape was. I’m hoping that someone knows about this old tradition and will fill in the missing shape and its symbolism.

[@MargaretsKitchenNM]

Hi Gina, it is so nice to hear from you, give me a call and I will walk you through the process, you will have to adjust for higher altitude, and it’s all about the lard when baking biscochitos 😀 here are a few steps in high altitude baking for Colorado Use 1/4 tsp of baking soda instead of 1/8 tsp. Use 1 Tbsp of sugar instead of 2 Tbsp. Add more water, maybe 3 more Tbsp. Add 2 to 4 more Tbsp of flour. Up your oven temperature by 15 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
