Alúar

By henry / November 16, 2024

A traditional sweet in Macau, sold in small square blocks; [at Christmas time they were meant to represent the mattress of the baby Jesus]. The basic ingredients are flour, butter, jagra (block raw sugar), coconut, almonds and pine nuts. Each cook has her own little secret which is guarded and perhaps in a few decades the traditional little plates with slices of aluar will no long be seen on Christmas eve feasts. (GNB)
