Hola! Today I’m keeping it pretty quick and simple, we’re making atole de calabaza (Mexican Pumpkin Atole)!
We’ve finally started feeling the cold temperatures here in the Central Valley, so it only feels appropriate to start sharing hot drink recipes. If you’ve never had atole before, it’s a traditional hot corn based beverage with pre-Columbian roots, and it comes in all sorts of flavors. Today, it typically consists of milk, sweetener, spices, and masa harina to thicken it.
For other atole and maizena recipes, pick up a copy of my new cookbook, Chicano Bakes!
