Preparation
Pass the glass sugar through a sieve, then add the clear, honey and vanilla.
Knead the mixture until it forms a ball.
Sprinkle with cornstarch on a surface (as if it were flour).
Stretch the mixture with a rolling pin until smooth.
With the help of a plastic mold cover with the dough and make the calaveritas.
Wait for the mixture to cool and cut the halves of the skull into two pieces and glue them with a bit of icing sugar and egg white.
If you do not have a skull-shaped plastic mold, you can make them like plasticine and give them a skull shape.
With the dye, paint your eyes on your mouth or put the name you want on your forehead.
You can also decorate with sequins or shakiras, CAUTION: Sequins and shakiras are not eaten.
