- Hi, welcome to Poncha Concha Kitchen.
Today I'm cooking, you guessed it, conchas!
And the instructions are all in Spanish.
As you guys know, I'm still learning Spanish.
I'm also not a very good cook,
so everything's against me right now.
But let's do it!
(upbeat music)
The directions say...
Oh, this is for the boils. Oh, okay.
Where does it start?
It's all in Spanish, Claudia.
This is literally the first sentence.
What's (speaks foreign language)
- Put?
Flour?
- Don't get up?
Uh, the yeast?
I'm doing this whole thing?
Four (speaks foreign language) is spoons?
Cups? I haven't even started yet.
There's a lot of words and numbers.
That's Spanish for one. You know?
Spanish for two.
Oh, was that two?
Things go like out my brain. That was two.
Teaspoon?
We're gonna Google if (speaks foreign language)
is tablespoon.
Teaspoons.
I mix all of this right now?
Oh, that's nice. This should be an ASMR video.
Turn up your audio if you love ASMR.
Boom.
So knead it until the masa separates from the walls.
I don't know how to knead anything,
so I'm gonna ask Matthew from Tasty,
who is a very talented chef and baker.
All right, so I brought Matthew in here
because I need help to knead.
- In order for this to come together,
I think she definitely needs a little bit
more moisture to get it smooth
and then the flour on this flat surface to smooth it out.
Beautiful.
Well you like push with one hand, fold it, rub it back.
And you just kind of redo it, and you kind turn as you go.
Wait. Bye. - Adios, gracias, por...
All right, now we're gonna let this
sit in the fridge for a day.
I hope it goes well, please little baby.
Please taste good. I love you.
I got you to be touched by of the Tasty gods.
I want this shit to be good, okay?
Like, I'm not here to lose, I'm here to win.
I have a lot a stake here. My pride, my people.
All my Poncha Conchas out there,
this needs to be a win for them.
And it this tastes good, I've done my job.
And if it doesn't taste good, we'll blame it on Tasty.

All right, so we're gonna make the top layer,
which is the concha part. I'm super excited,
it's gonna be good and sugary.
Sift the flour and the...
What is this called?
And then we're gonna do one cup (speaks foreign language).
Okay, so now we're gonna make the sugar part,
which is the most exciting.
All right, that's my first try.
Um, she is pretty, but not as pretty as I want it to be.
Done. I'm done.
Shut up, Claudia. (laughs)
Well, we're gonna put this in (speaks foreign language).
No, in (speaks foreign language).
And then we're gonna see how they look.
Please, if you don't turn out good,
I'm gonna have to give my Mexican card back,
and it's already faded.
(jazz music)
- I'm from Mexico, so I think I am the ultimate judge.
- Yeah, I grew up in Mar Vista,
that's considered Little Oaxaca.
There are bakeries all over the place.
And my mom used to pick these up
almost every day after school.
- I was born in Mexico, I grew up there.
Went there back every like summer.
I feel like she got the traditional
kind of like swivels down.
- This is great. I have one first thought.
My favorite part of the concha is the glaze.
And this is very covered.
- It's got the fluffiness inside.
It's a bit more dense than I'm used to.
Same with the frosting on the outside.
It's slightly harder than the stuff I usually have.
- It's like really bready.
I like my conchas to be like chewy, not crunchy.
So, do I just go?
(suspenseful music)
- This is good!
- I'd say overall, it's pretty good.
I don't even know how you drew these on here.
- It's like a little bready.
They're usually like lighter and fluffier.
It's so good. It's not too sweet, which is the whole point.
- Okay, I'm not kissing ass. I actually think
I like this better than the regular concha.
- Yay! Does it get the Mexico stamp of approval?
(mariachi music)
The recipe was in Spanish, so it was
like learning all of these things.
Everything was a first. I think I did pretty okay.
I wanna hear from you guys,
what do you guys think I could've done better?
Thanks so much to (speaks foreign language) for the recipe.
What do want us to cook next?
Yeah, that's really nice. Welcome to my ASMR video.
Can you hear that?
