Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Arequipe (dulce de leche) or guava paste for filling
Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 20 minutes.
- 4Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little butter or non-stick spray.
- 5Take a small portion of the dough (about a tablespoon) and roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a thin disc, about 6 inches in diameter.
- 6Place the disc on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking the cooked obleas on a plate to cool.
- 7Once all the obleas are cooked and cooled, spread a generous layer of arequipe or guava paste on one side of a disc, then top with another disc to form a sandwich.
- 8Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. These can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days, but are best enjoyed fresh.
