Erica Rivera

I lean over my plate and inhale the steam rising from the piping hot surface. I slide my knife slowly, seductively, between each billowy layer. The butter dissolves into a lipid gloss across the surface. The powdered sugar falls from the serving spoon like snowflakes. - excerpt from Spanish Pancakes
