The first time I shared this Chilean Powdered Pastries recipe was in 2012, and now I’m posting it again to update the photos, update the recipe, and share an improved version. And the other reason is because on April 15 we celebrate the Chilean Cuisine Day, and what a better way to do it with a pastry as wonderful as this one.
These Powdered Chilean Pastries are a classic of Chilean cuisine, they have always been sold in bakeries, or at least that’s what I remember from some of these locations from the ValparaÃso area. They are typical in September, when we celebrate the national holidays, but also for any time of the year when we just want to enjoy something sweet. And the best thing is that you can make them at home.
This recipe is one of those that takes us back to our childhood, to remember our family, especially for those of us who are physically far from Chile.
