Ingredients

3 Eggs

1 cup of Fresh milk

1 cup of Unprepared flour

Oil

Manjar blanco

Powdered sugar

Ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1 : In a bowl, lightly mix the eggs with a fork.

Step 2 : Then, add the fresh milk and unprepared flour, and beat until smooth and loose dough forms.

Step 3 : Heat enough oil in a large, deep pot or pan.

Step 4 : Dip the ponderaciones mold into the hot oil and remove.

Step 5 : Next, insert the mold into the batter, without reaching the top, leaving approximately 1 cm free at the top.

Step 6 : This precaution is because when frying, the batter splatters and bubbles.

Step 7 : Re-dip the mold into the boiling oil until the ponderaciones turn golden, about 30 seconds.

Step 8 : Then, remove from the oil and tap gently on the mold to release the ponderaciones.

Step 9 : Drain on a paper towel or absorbent paper.

Step 10 : To serve, pour some manjar blanco on a plate, place the ponderacion on top, and sprinkle with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
