• 200g cornflour
• 100g plain flour
• 150g butter, soft
• 50g icing sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 jar dulce de leche
• icing sugar to dust

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Beat the butter and icing sugar until pale, then beat in the yolks.
2. Fold in the cornflour, flour and baking powder. The high cornflour ratio is why alfajores crumble the way they do.
3. Chill the dough 30 min, then roll to 5mm and cut small rounds.
4. Bake at 170°C for 10–12 min. They should stay pale — colour means overbaked.
5. Cool completely on the tray. They are extremely fragile warm.
6. Sandwich generously with dulce de leche and bury in icing sugar.
