Pozole with hot toast or toast
Put on the table all the other trimmings for guests to prepare the Pozole to their liking. I recommend putting a tablespoon of fresh lettuce, radishes, one onion, a pinch of oregano and a few slices of avocado. You can also add lemon or chile powder at Pozole. Use toast or toasts to spread cream, yogurt or avocado. A delight.

Whole grain Crêpes
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 12 cups of flour
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 15 tablespoons of whey
- 2 cups of water
- A pinch of sea salt
- Accessories: cajeta, honey chopped nuts, chopped almonds, etc.
Preparation
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or mixer. In a pre-heated skillet add a tablespoon of butter. Lower heat to medium and add a ladle with a portion of the mix and move the pan so the mixture is spread to the edges and is very thin as a tortilla.
- When you see that the banks cooked (not browned), go off with sticks and give back to stew on the other side.
- Fold tortilla in three triangles and placed them on a plate, arranged as you prefer. Bathe with cajeta, natural jam, honey, molasses, etc. You can decorate with some chopped nuts, sesame, coconut or amaranth scratched. If you're serving this dish for children, you can use a little vanilla snow. If you'd rather use something more natural, one part banana slices and decorate it with the pancakes, you can also use strawberries, peaches and apples that are washed and disinfected well. Bathe the fruit with a molasses and you will see that delicious. Join this dessert with some hot tea for the guests to taste.
