Cuban content creator Ady Machín (@adymachin23) shared a video on TikTok that has evoked nostalgia and appetite among users: a simple and traditional recipe for making pancakes, arepitas, or torticas cubanas, as they are known in different regions of the island.
In the clip, Ady explains that she wanted to make a special breakfast for her daughter, and she got to work. In her recipe, she uses two eggs, sugar, and flour, basic ingredients that she mixes until she obtains a smooth batter.
Then she cooks small portions in a pan, producing golden, fluffy little cakes. To complete the breakfast, she serves them with yogurt and pieces of fruit for her daughter, a combination that many consider a luxury in today's Cuba.
In the comments, several users highlighted the creativity and ingenuity of the Cuban mother, but they also lamented the economic difficulties that families on the island face in accessing basic products like yogurt, flour, or eggs.
"That's a breakfast for the wealthy in Cuba," wrote a user, reflecting the reality of a country where a daily gesture can be a challenge.
Ady's video has become a symbol of resilience and family love, showing that with a little, a lot can be accomplished.
