JUMP TO RECIPE

I have known these hojuelas or flakes for quite some time. I am going to tell you the story of how I met them and tried them. In my school days, one group per week had to make up the school store, selling from candy to salt food. In those times, it was widespread to find in the store the famous potatoes stew, gamuza, flakes, among other things.

Hojuelas

I tell them that I reached 5th grade and I had not dared to try them, until in the last store of the year, just when I was going to go to school, I took a chance to try them, and I loved them, but it was already the last store. Since that day I have not eaten them again, because at school they were not so popular.

And now, I've tried to get them somewhere, and it hasn't been possible, that's why I dared to make these hojuelas, because they are delicious, and I want to kill a craving that has been present for years.

Dish with hojuelas

The flakes are cookies that we all love, both children and adults. The crunch of these cookies captivates us and motivates us to continue eating them. There will always be room for one more.

So I hope you are encouraged to make this recipe for hojuelas, as it is straightforward to prepare and as I told you, the ingredients in addition to cheap, are honest to find. Dare to surprise your family and friends with these delicious homemade cookies with lots of love. Let's cook.
