What do I do if instead of a ROSCÓN DE REYES I got a churro?
- It may be that the flour is bad or expired, that the yeast has been diluted in milk that is too hot and has died before taking effect or that it is also expired. It may also be that you have been doing a thousand things and today was not your best day in the kitchen. In any case, nothing happens, we all have failures when we cook and there is no use complaining about spilled milk. The good thing is that you do not stay with that feeling of "failure" and later, any day when you have more time and less pressure, try again, you will see how well it turns out. Enjoy
