This Delicious pastry,is made with 3 simple ingredients, and is really easy to make. I modified a little the final presentation usually will be finish on a grill but I cooked in an oven. Usually in Bolivia we enjoy it in the afternoon  with a cup of black coffee. I love having it in the cold days in Maine as a side dish.
