Pretty and yummy! I can't really state if the bread is authentic or not because I never had them before. I describe the bread as dense & a bit dry but of course the sugar topping makes this delicious. If I were to make this again, I would use my favorite dough. Make sure to have a plate or napkin because the topping will crumble when you bite to em'. The only change I made was to use regular milk instead of evap. milk. I had used up the evap milk from making a different batch. I think reviewers are getting confuse with the topping not being "thick paste". They should take that out of the directions. Well, I admit, I was a bit confused too when I started making it, but I followed the topping ingredients and as long as it can be formed into balls and flatten into discs, you're good to go. Also, I halved the recipe and made 12 sweet breads. I think its a perfect size.

Excellent Recipe... just like the ones in the Mexican Bakery. The shell design is not as hard as I thought it would be too. A few pointers: Be sure to watch them! Mine got a tad darker real quick. Eat them right away! If you can also split the topping in more ways and make different flavors. A traditional one is Cocoa (my favorite!)

These turned out good; however, the topping never resembled "a thick paste". I think you should divide the vanilla between the two topping bowls to make the dough stick together better. The cinnamon topping was dry and crumbly...

These were wonderful! Never having eaten one before, I was trying to make something from my husbands childhood and he said these were better than he remembered. Our neighbors also went crazy for them-will be making these again very soon.

Good recipe. I took the advice of some reviewers and broke it down into smaller rolls. In total, I had 18 and they were plenty big. It was cool out the day that I tried the recipe, so I used the oven at 100 degrees to keep my dough warm while it raised. The end product was a little denser than I had hoped, but the topping was delicious. In order to shorten cooking time, I plan to try making rolls out of my favorite boxed hot roll mix and using that as the base for the sweet topping.

I thought this recipe was pretty easy, but it took me three times to make it right. ha ha... Couple of changes I made: 3 teaspoons of yeast let it rest for 15 mins. Used low fat milk. Let my dough rise in preheated oven 200. (but of course make sure the oven is off, before putting your dough in it).

I am updating my original review to 5 stars. My hubby had told me the first time I made them they were better than any bakery. I thought he was being sweet. But, I made them today and sent 2 home with a Mexican man who is doing some tile work for us. He actually called my husband when he got home and told him they tasted like what he used to eat in Mexico and both his wife and kids absolutely loved them! That made me feel pretty good since I am just a white girl...lol. I only made one change to the recipe---I added an extra egg yolk. I will be making again and again.

Easy to make, but didn't care for the dough or the topping. To me, I think the dough should have been slightly sweeter and less dense. The topping was okay, but the texture was a bit odd. Put together, it was pretty flavorless. I would not make again.
