Description
Atole is a traditional hot Mexican beverage that is thickened with masa, sweetened with piloncillo and flavored with cinnamon. It is typically enjoyed at breakfast or after dinner with pan dulce. My version, sometimes called atole de vainilla, includes Mexican vanilla, which has a bold rich flavor. Though some people strain the finished drink right before serving (and others don't strain at all), I strain the masa slurry before adding it to the milk to ensure the smoothest consistency.
