Well-Marrieds

Place the eggs and sugar in a mixer bowl

Beat at medium speed for 15 minutes or until a soft, airy dough forms

Remove from mixer, add baking powder sifted slowly and mix gently with a spatula or whisk, moving from bottom to top

Add all-purpose flour sifted also and mix delicately the same way

Do not overmix so the dough does not drop

In a greased and floured baking dish, spoon the dough onto the surface, forming small balls about 4 centimeters in diameter

Leave space between them to prevent sticking

Bake at high heat for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown

Remove from oven and let cool

Pair the well-marrieds, two by two, with sweetened condensed milk and reserve

Glaze: Bring water to a simmer and warm it slightly

Add the two cups of sugar and mix with a spoon until dissolved

Dip the well-marrieds quickly and gradually into the glaze outside the heat, turning them gently with a fork to coat completely

Drain on the same fork alongside the pot, remove, and place on a wire rack to dry

From time to time, add warm water to the glaze to prevent it from drying out

Let the well-marrieds dry completely

Wrap them first in cellophane paper and then in crepe-colored paper

Tie delicately with string and, if desired, use individual packaging or boxes with multiple units.
