Title: what is the difference between pan de leche and pan de elote?
Post by: 8ullfrog on August 17, 2019, 06:21:39 PM

I tried googling this, and the results were just recipes.

Also it kept trying to tell me I meant Dolce de leche. I DO NOT MEAN DOLCE DE LECHE GOOGLE, THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING.

what is the difference between pan de leche and pan de elote?

To me they're just kind of soggy cake. I'd never had pan de elote before. Google says it's Mexican Corn bread, and that's wrong, this thing is nothing like corn bread.

I think that one is a wheat flour based cake/sweet bread that uses sweetened condensed milk (pan de leche)
The other uses cornmeal as a base often with fresh corn and also uses sweetened condensed milk. (pan de elote)

Then there's a tres leches cake that Martha Stewart was talking about on Martha Bakes one evening.  It's a light cake that is then soaked in a sweetened milk mixture.
