Matthew: Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make a pastel de tres leches. I’ve had it a couple times before at restaurants, most recently in Costa Rica, and really liked it. I mean, anything with sweetened condensed milk has to be good, right? The only unusual ingredient was masa harina, which is made from corn. I was able to find it at the coop. The recipe calls for fine ground cornmeal and all I had at home was coarse cornmeal. There was more texture to the cake, but I was ok with that. The cake turned out really well and I’m excited to serve some to my friends. And, since you only use half of the three milks mixture, I might just have to make another one right away.
