Mmmmm, Alfajores

I’m typing this blog entry with sticky fingers. I had today off and have been thinking a lot about alfajores and how much I enjoyed them in Argentina. I found this recipe (which also explains what they are) and decided there would be no harm in trying. I took advantage of the beautiful sunny day to walk down to Pike Place Market, where I bought some dulce de leche. A stop at the store near my house for some other ingredients, and I was ready. I had fun making them, and at the end I decided to cover the tops with a little bit of powdered sugar. I’m not Argentine and not an expert on the cuisine, but I know what I like, and these were delicious! They are in the picture above. Not bad for being on the north side of the equator.
