How To Make The Best Homemade Semitas De Yema

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Almost every day after school, I would wait for my dad to bring home a bag of semitas from the local Honduran bodega. My parents enjoyed afternoon coffee more often than not, and as these are best dipped in hot coffee, it was a ritual of sorts for us to enjoy semitas with warm beverages on the porch. I didn-t drink coffee when I was young, so warm milk or hot chocolate was my go-to. Even when we moved to a New Orleans suburb, there were pockets of Central American people and markets, so finding these classic treats was easy. This bread is a semisweet, dense brioche-style bread capped with a crisp mixture of oil and sugar and is best served with a warm cup of coffee. Having proper semitas is akin to having a proper croissant-the moment you know you are going to eat one is filled with a happiness that can only be satisfied by eating as many as possible.

I-m just wondering HOW ON EARTH I-ve gone 36 years without ever even HEARING ABOUT THIS, let alone taste it? And that-s coming from a true bread/carb JUNKIE ok, like I-d choose a delish bread over nearly any dessert so mixing both into one amazing looking carb product, yes I can-t freakin WAIT to try this out! YUM ----
