Atole & Champurrado
Atole and Champurrado are delicious, hot, and slightly thick Mexican beverages that warm you up when it's cold outside. There are many, many variations, most of which are made with corn flour as a thickening agent. But this recipe uses all-purpose flour. It starts out as Atole, which is a plain cinnamon version. But when you add Mexican chocolate, it becomes a Champurrado. Read on for the recipe.
