Mama’s Salpores de Arroz Recipe
Growing up, my mom owned and operated a Mexican bakery. My mother studied pastry making with an apprenticeship in El Salvador. She continued learning with another apprenticeship in Los Angeles. This salpores de arroz recipe is hers! She developed it herself. I am so proud to share it with you today. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Finally, this recipe makes a dozen cookies. But, the whole recipe only contains half a cup of sugar. Therefore, each cookie is quite low in sugar. Don’t worry. It is still very tasty!
