The Peruvian Doughnut

Another yummy food we have sampled are Picarones, or as we like to call them, Peruvian doughnuts.  The dough is made with pumpkin and sweet potatoes and served dripping with a warm sugar syrup.  There is a small group of locals who make these fresh nightly and sell them near the neighborhood plaza.  People come from all over the city to get these tasty treats and they line can stretch down the street if you come after dinner.  The group had an assembly line and each person had their own Picarones job...

If you are interested in making these you can find a recipe here. 

I wonder if these ladies would take on an apprentice...
