Cómo extraño mis alfajores... saludos Lorena!

I made these recently and I'm not sure what I did wrong to the manjar blanco. The cookies came out perfect once I realized I was supposed to use corn starch and not corn flower lol. I think my first batch would have been. . . tortillas? Anyway, I should have read the comments below first. I thought I made the manjar blanco the same way, but it turned out very stiff. It was almost impossible to pipe out of a bag. Did I over cook it?

I'm going to make these and let you know how they turn out, i've been on a quarantine cooking spree :) thank you cutie :)

Hi Lorena, I came across your channel and I love it. Thank you for sharing your gift. I baked the alfajores for 8 minutes, but they were very soft, so I baked them for a total of 20 minutes right when the edges were getting light brown. They were delicious, but I was wondering if the 8 minutes baking is with a certain type of oven. I have a convection oven.

By corn flour do you mean cornstarch?

[@lorena.salinas]

Hi! Yes! Cornstarch :) I know my ingredients with the UK names and sometimes I forget to clear it up for my US audience :)

I'm trying to find a soft alfajores recipe. Are these the crispy ones?

[@juliagamero9981]

Can you freeze the dough?

[@richrich685]

If your manager tells you no, isn’t that limiting your pro time. If it’s limited it’s not unlimited

[@gracejaneiro9679]

Where can I find the recipe?

[@mattlaon.y.4]

My manjar blanco became very thick and sticky and difficult to use after cooling. What could I have done wrong 😭 Can I let it sit in warm water to make it more manageable?? Pls help

[@CravingsJournal]

Hi! You must have cooked it for a bit too long. But don't worry! Warm it up in a pot and mix it with a bit of milk until you like the consistency :)

[@mattlaon.y.4]
