For a long time I have been meaning to make alfajores http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfajor, a traditional biscuit from South America. So I attempted them today. The end result is that they taste great, although I have no idea if they taste like the ones you might find in Argentina. But unfortunately they look a little worse-for-wear should I say. Next time I will need to roll the pastry a bit thinner, and probably make the caramel more thicker. And because they don't look great I haven't taken a photo. I will make them again some day, and hopefully I will master the aesthetic of the biscuit and post a scrumptious looking recipe.
In the post-mortem, as I was scouring youtube for tips on how to make alfajores I got, lets say, side-tracked, and found this video. I had to post it because alfajores don't belong in Adelaide and Penguins don't belong in Japan.
