Santa Clara Pie

Soak the ground peanuts overnight

On the next day, grind the peanuts and cook them until they are soft, then strain them

Add the peanut butter

Heat the peanut flour over low heat with just enough water to dissolve it

Let it cook until it reaches the right consistency, like a custard

Combine the peanut butter mixture with the ground peanuts and cinnamon

Let it simmer for a little while longer

Remove from heat and let it cool

Add the beaten egg yolks

Mix well and reheat over low heat to cook the eggs

If the mixture is too runny, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

It's not necessary for this mixture to be very dry, as it will thicken when cooled

Make a dough for fried pastries, roll it out and cut it into sheets

Fill and fold

Fry in hot oil until golden brown, then dust with peanut flour
