  • Servings- 8
  • Preparation Time- 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 8 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup of pisco (use whatever pisco you enjoy)
  • 2 cups of evaporated milk
  • 2 cups of condensed milk
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of flour

Preparation Instructions:

  • Knead the flour with the pisco and the 8 egg yoks. Continue to roll the dough until it turns in a thin sheet that you can cut into squares.
  • Cut squares with the dough you rolled. Cut 8 equal squares.
  • Roll up each square and sell the edges using water then cook the rolled dough in a pan using hot oil. Once they are fried and finished cooking carefully drain them of any excess oil and place them aside to cool down.
  • In a pot put the evaporated milk along with the condensed milk. Bring the contents to a simmer while continually stirring the mix. Continue to do this until the mixture begins to thicken. Then remove from the pot from the heat and let it cool down.
  • Fill the fried rolled up tubes/Guargueros with manjarblanco and then sprinkle powdered sugar on top (I personally like lots of powdered sugar!)
