Alfajores
Como soy la única persona que habla español en la oficina, mis compañeros siempre me hacen preguntas. ¿Alguien me preguntó hoy que es un alfajor? Se me hace que es un platillo chileno pero estoy segura. ¿Alguien sabe?
Gracias |
Del DRAE:
alfajor. (Del ár. hisp. fašúr, este del persa afšor, jugo, y este del pelvi afšurdan, exprimir). 1. m. alajú. 2. m. Rosquilla de alajú. 3. m. Am. Mer. Golosina compuesta por dos rodajas delgadas de masa adheridas una a otra con dulce y a veces recubierta de chocolate, merengue, etc. 4. m. Hond., Nic. y Ven. Pasta hecha con harina de yuca o de maíz, papelón, piña y jengibre. 5. m. vulg. Arg. facón. 6. m. Méx. Dulce hecho de coco, leche y azúcar. Parece ser un postre o dulce que es diferente de país en país. Nunca lo he probado yo. :( |
Alfajores are very popular in Argentina. Over there they are a sandwich of two sweet crackers with dulce de leche between them, and they are covered with chocolate.

Thanks for clarifying.

Mejor te envío la receta porque si te las mando, te llegan hechas polvo... buen provecho :o)
CHILEAN ALFAJORES 1/4 c. plus 3 tbsp. butter 1/4 c. plus 3 tbsp. sugar 1 egg, beaten 3/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour 1 can condensed milk Cream together butter and sugar; add egg and flour and mix well. Drop by scant teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Pat with a floured finger into very thin little circles (quarter to half dollar size). Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until just starting to brown around edges. Sandwich two cookies together with cooked condensed milk. To cook condensed milk, place entire, unopened can in a large saucepan, cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer about 2 hours. This turns it into caramel. Me dijo una amiga que saben muy sabrosos rociados con chocolate derretido o azúcar para confecciones. |
Hmmm. ¡Qué sabrosos se ven! ¡Gracias!

Alfajores en Andalucia

OK, here alfajores are not any kind of sandwich, they are a christmas cake made with almond. (see pic)
Not sure, but words starting with al- are mostly coming into Spanish from Arabic, so may be more culturally bound to the south of Spain (Andalusia) They're yummy...but so fattening :dancingman: |
¡Uhm... parecen muy deliciosos! :)

Imagine peanut butter but made from almonds, then dry it up...that's a peninsular alfajor...I'm afraid of xmas, don't wanna put on weight lol
|
Haha. You should go to Finland once. I've been there quite some times, and they eat more cake a day, than we do through the whole Christmas here in Denmark. :p
|
Agree with Planet hopper. Here, in Spain, alfajores are a xmas dessert.
saludos :D |
