Alondra Alfajores

The lark and the apple branch

Why the bird, what goes into each alfajor, and how we put them together by hand.

The Alondra Alfajores seal: a burgundy lark on a blossoming apple branch, inside a gold ring of holly

The name

Alondra is Spanish for skylark, the bird on our seal.

On the seal it sits on a blossoming apple branch, inside a gold ring of holly. The apple became one of our shapes.

How they are made

Hands sifting powdered sugar through a brass sieve over a tray of heart alfajores

Butter biscuits

The dough is rolled thin and cut into each shape by hand. They bake pale, so they stay tender.

Dulce de leche

The filling goes on thick, right to the edge. It holds the two biscuits together and shows at the sides.

Powdered sugar

Each piece is dusted through a fine sieve once it is filled. No two coats of sugar come out quite the same.

Bowls of dulce de leche and flour, butter on a plate, a sieve of powdered sugar, a vanilla pod and gold measuring spoons on marble
