Recipe of Alfajor Marplatense

Join me and let's see how to make Alfajor Marplatense

Instructions:

Step 1
• Whisk the butter with the sugar. Add the zest of a large orange, only the orange part, do not grate the white part because it makes the preparation bitter.
Step 2
• Add the honey and beat as you add the eggs one by one.
Step 3
• Preheat the oven to 180º.
Step 4
• Sift together the dry ones: the flour, baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate, cocoa powder, cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
• Add the dry ones, over the liquids. We will stir with a spoon, without kneading.
Step 6
• Wrap it in film and refrigerate it. You can even store it in the freezer for 6 months; but if you are going to prepare it on the spot, send it to the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 7
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator, remove the film and sprinkle the counter with flour. Stretch the dough with a kneading stick.
Step 8
• Cut the discs, and what is leftover dough is put together, then compacted and returned to the fridge to be reused a few minutes later.
Step 9
• Place the cookies on parchment paper, leaving space between them.
Step 10
• Bake them at 180º for 12 minutes.
Step 11
• Fill them with Dulce de Leche, optionally you can add orange zest and rum to the Dulce de Leche for more flavor.
Step 12
• Put the chocolate coating in a water bath. Dip one side of the Alfajor into the coating, then place that side on a sheet of parchment paper and let it cool.
Step 13
• Once cool, remove the parchment paper and place the chocolate face on a rack. Bathe the the top with the cover.
