Alfajores de Maicena

Method

1. 1

   Cream butter and sugar; add yolks and zest; fold in cornstarch and flour to a tender dough. Chill 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Roll thick-ish, cut rounds, bake at 170°C for 10–12 minutes — pale, never browned.

   💡 Color is failure here. They should look almost raw and shatter like frost.

3. 3

   Sandwich generously with dulce de leche; roll the seam in coconut.

4. 4

   Attempt to eat only one. Report your findings.
