Dish
Almojábana
Almojábana is made with corn flour, cheese, eggs, and butter. The dough is mixed and then formed into small balls which are then baked until golden brown. The cheese gives the bread a salty flavor and the eggs and butter make it rich and moist. Almojábana is typically served warm and can be enjoyed on its own or with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
