"Made with squash, sweet potato and various spices (such as anise and cloves), this testing exceeded my expectations by confirming two transcendental issues: crispy dough on the outside and spongy on the inside. On the syrup that bathes them, what corresponds: chancaca honey is at the exact point between sweet and bitter. Generous portion and authority in the preparation. Remarkable."
