“Caballeros Pobres” are a typical Yucatecan dessert, made with Yucatecan baguette submerged on milk and fried, very easy to make and very cheap too. Usually it’s served cold..

125 ml milk
125 ml condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
5 stiffly beaten egg whites
Oil
1 lt. water
1/2 cup raisins
1 cinnamon stick
1 ½ cups sugar
Slice the bread diagonally.
Mix the 2 milks and the vanilla. Dip the bread one slice at a time into this mixture, then cover with the egg whites.
Fry in oil, drain, set aside, and let cool.
Syrup:
Boil the water and the other 4 ingredients at low heat without stirring until thick (approx. 30 min.) and let cool.
Arrange the “caballeros pobres” in a serving dish, cover with the cooled syrup. Refrigerate 1 hour and serve.
