ABOUT EL ALFAJOR

is a sweet dessert, of Spanish origin of the same name Andalusian, a traditional treat of the gastronomy of Al-Andalus, although it bears more similarities with the alajú, in terms of its configuration. It was spread in America during the colonial period. On the other hand, its name comes from the Spanish-Arabic al-hasu meaning 'the filling'.

In addition, it is known that it is a dessert widespread in many Hispanic American countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Its round or wafer feature comes from Spain, almost by the 18th century, which can be bathed in chocolate, powdered sugar, dulce de leche or honey, and even fruits.

In relation to cornstarch, its functions include the ability to retain water, cause the formation of gels, thicken liquids, provide texture and act as an anticoagulant.
