This dessert is highly appreciated in the Riviera of the Papaloapan River. It is a soft bun made from egg and ground bread, combined with a honey that has a touch of sherry and brandy. Decorated with a little sesame. A recipe from traditional Mexican cuisine that you must try.

Separate the egg whites and beat to stiff peaks. Add the yolks one by one so that it doesn't deflate. Gradually add the bread until it reaches a consistency slightly thicker than atole, and when lifting the spoon, it still drips. Make the honey by heating the water, cinnamon, and sugar. Let it cool; add the sherry and brandy. Pour a little honey into the ungreased baking dish and then add the egg with the bread and sprinkle with sesame. Bake at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool and cut into 3cm x 3cm squares. Drizzle with the remaining honey.
