4 servings
- 3 cups whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor. - 1 cup water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 oz piloncillo, roughly chopped (or ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar)
Ingredient noteSome sugar brands use bone char in processing. Look for organic, beet sugar, or brands labeled vegan to be safe.

- ¼ cup masa harina
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
