RE: Going Bananas in Acapulco, Part 3: Gooey Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls With Simple Vanilla Glaze

in #food8 years ago

Did you sell any?
I was disappointed with pastries down there.
No bake cookies is what I'd like to try when I get there.

Sort:  

I've got a great recipe for no bake cookies.
I've sold baked goods in the past here, but I didn't sell any of these. They're still in the pan on my stove :)
Pastries here are different, some are great, but they're never quite what you expect, that's for sure.

My friend was selling donuts on the hiway through town until he got his taxi license.
I couldn't find peanut butter down there except in very small, very expensive jars.
I'd think there isn't anything like that down there, except maybe crunch bars in the oxxo.

Peanut butter is expensive, but peanuts arent. I want to start making my own butter.
As for donuts, those fucking suck here. John's family owns a donut shop, nothing here comes close to those delicious donuts.

Lol, yeah, they do.
My buddy learned to make them in Florida and was doing ok, but he wanted a real job for the security.

It's not hard to do them right, which is why it's such a shame that they suck so much here.
If I didn't already have 5 different projects, I'd open a doughnut shop.

I think that they use too much corn meal, and not enough wheat flour.
Even in the north where you could get trigo tortillas the donuts sucked.
The really bad thing about it was that they looked sooo good, but when I got to eat them, it was ugh, again and again.
I finally gave up.
Now I go into the Mexican bakeries here and it's the same,....the tres leches is still good, though.

Impossible cake! Have you had that?
We can get trigo tortillas here, Im not sure it's the flour ratio. I know they don't use enough sweetners, or the right kind of glazes. I always expect them to be sweet and it's like eating bread.
They definately put a lot less sugar in their "sweet" breads here.

Not that I know of, does it have another name?
I'd think them cinnamon rolls would go fast on the costera.

Nope, just pastele impossible. I wrote an article about it.

AS for the rolls, I might consider it if I run out of other options to make cash.

I can hear you now, 'Pan dulce,....Pan dulce,...'.
The kids will come running like it was the ice cream man,...
