I’d like to see the Pan de Elote recipes you found online (and liked.) Our favorite Mexican restaurant had a delicious one for a while but the chelf left, along with his recipe…..it was like a combination between flan and corn bread, slightly sweet and slightly grainy.

Looks gluten free. Can’t wait to try it. I get excited when I find a gluten free recipe.

Hola Paty! La torta de elote se ve deliciosa. Solo tengo una duda. El elote, ¿va crudo o cocido? ¿Puedo usar elote blanco o amarillo? He tratado muchas de tus recetas y todas me han encantado, así que muero por hacer esta! Gracias

Hola Dulce,
Yes! You can make it in mini loaf pans and just bake them 10 minutes less (test with a toothpick!) at the same temperature. Yes you can freeze it , just make sure it is well covered. And yes, you may substitute with half and half… Thanks for reading and commenting along

Hola! Hola! When I was growing up my mom use to make, Pan de Elote. I asked her about it and she couldn’t remember. I researched it on-line and found some great recipes. Then I watched your episode on how to make a Corn Torte. I drooled a little. Ha! Ha! It is prepared different then Pan de Elote which made it more intriguing. I knew I had to make it to make a comparison. I usually make cakes in a mini loaf pan so that I can store what I don’t eat in the freezer and take out individual serving when I want to indulge. So my first question is, at what tempature should I bake them at? Second, can the torte be frozen? Oh and can I substitute half/half for the milk? Gracias! I’m looking forward to watching your show and learning how to be a better cook.

That sounds like a delicious mole! You know you can always use some of it as a base. If it tastes too sweet, you can toast and simmer a few ancho or guajillo chiles and puree them along with the mole. You can also cook it with a bit of chicken broth to make it more savory. You can use it to pour over chicken or seafood. You can make some vegetable stew in it: like cooked potatoes and green beans. You can make enchiladas and stuff them with shredded chicken and cover with that almond mole sauce/

Dear Ms. Pati,
I love your show and take my Saturday afternoon cleaning “descanso” so I can watch your show on Create. I recently was in PDC and there was the Feria de las Guezalaguetas (spelling? ?) and I bought 1/4 kilo of mole de almendra b/c the sample was so good and sweet. Can you suggest how to use it- shall I just make it over chicken like a regular mole. I sort of wanted something different because I think it it too sweet for chicken. Muchisimas gracias and hopefully one day we will have the occasion to meet in person. Ruth Tellez

You can give it a try, but when you think about it: this torte serves more than 12 servings (which I love because then I have the most gorgeous leftovers, which can be eaten cold, lukewarm or hot), when you divide it up its not that much per serving!
