I know I've been away for awhile. A loooong while. Will you forgive me?
I won't bore you with the details, but to make up for it, I'm giving you a long-awaited, quintessentially Argentinean recipe--medialunas. The medialuna is the Croissant's cousin from the south--a little smaller and a little sweeter, and the tastiest to wake up to.
Puff pastry is not as complicated to make as its reputation, it just takes a long while, just like any true love, to get to the good stuff. But, also like love, it's totally worth the wait.
The name, medialuna, has a celestial sort of romance all its own--literally, it means 'half moon', bringing to mind the 'moony,' sweet days of a new love. The stars have aligned, and everything you eat--when you remember to--is just a little more delicious than usual.
