Preparation
Gachas dulces (sweet porridge) is a traditional dessert from Cabra del Santo Cristo, especially associated with the All Saints' festivity. It is a simple recipe deeply rooted in popular baking, made with milk infused with lemon and cinnamon, which lends a warm, characteristic aroma. Preparation begins by toasting the flour with aniseeds in extra virgin olive oil with PDO Sierra Mágina, until achieving a flavour-packed base. The infused milk is then added and stirred slowly until the mixture thickens and takes on its creamy texture. It is traditionally served with sweetened croutons and a touch of cinnamon on top. A humble, aromatic spoon dessert closely tied to family celebrations and autumn recipes.
