Recipe: dulce de leche

Dulce de leche is eaten with almost everything in Argentina. It’s spread on toast for breakfast, used to fill ‘facturas’ (pastries) and ‘alfajores’, eaten alongside flans, pancakes and cakes, and is a ubiquitous flavour for ice cream, but at its most basic you can enjoy it with a spoon straight from the jar! Of course, Argentines claim dulce de leche as their own invention and it is the one thing that Argentines living outside of Argentina miss the most.
