Ingredients:
- 3 yolks
- 50 gr. butter
- 50 gr. icing sugar
- 150 gr. maicena (corn flour)
- 20 gr. wheat flour
- A pinch of bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of salt
- Grated coconut
- Milk jam

Method: work the butter and mix it with the icing sugar. Add the yolks and whip it until having a sort of cream. Add the two flours previously sifted with the salt and the bicarbonate of soda. Knead it well. Let the dough stand for 15 minutes in the fridge. Stretch the dough (It should have 0.5 cm. of thickness) and cut 5 cm. diameter circles. Bake the “alfajores” for 10 minutes at 160ºC. Let them cool.
Stuff the alfajores with milk jam and stick them as if they were a sandwich. Paint the edges of the alfajores with milk jam and coat the sides with grated coconut.
