Huevitos de leche

Huevitos de leche (lit. milk eggs) is a Panamanian specialty, a highly caloric sweet treat consisting of milk, sugar, and either cornstarch or flour. These treats are typically flavored with a cinnamon stick that is inserted into the pot while the other ingredients boil. When the concoction becomes golden brown in color, it is left to cool a bit and then it is formed into the shape of small eggs. These eggs are traditionally dusted with icing sugar and wrapped in colored paper. Huevitos de leche are great for picnics, children's parties, or as an accompaniment to afternoon tea.
