Do you like desserts with a traditional flavour? Well, check out this nuns' delicacy, a very old recipe that is very simple and that you will have ready in 10 minutes.
Nuns have been the creators of many of the classic sweets that we have in the pastry of our country. They have saved and transmitted recipes from antiquity.
A very simple dessert of medieval origin.
Also called white delicacy, due to the colour given to it by the three main ingredients with which it is cooked, this is a very old sweet of those that have their origins in medieval convents.
Ideal to eat with the family, as a dessert or even at snack time for children, as it is very nutritious, this dish is, in addition to being simple and very quick to make, super cheap.
On the other hand, since it is made with rice flour, a food that does not contain gluten, it is perfect for people with celiac disease or who must eliminate this protein from their diet.
And, when preparing it, a note: once in the pot, keep in mind that you must stir it every now and then with a whisk or a spatula so that it does not stick to the bottom. This way you will have a divine dessert.

-Replace the honey with a splash of liquid caramel, red fruit jam or a little melted chocolate.
-If you want it to have a crunchy touch, add some chopped walnuts, some pieces of Maria biscuits or chocolate pearls.
