In Galicia we celebrate Samaín because we are Celts.         That’s why I wanted to post a traditional Galician recipe we make for Halloween: Calacús (also known in Spanish as Chulas de calabaza) basically a pumpkin pancake 😁     The original recipe has a lot more sugar and is usually deep fried. But if I’m known for anything…that is reducing sugar and deep frying in my recipes.     I’m not against eating anything, it’s just…
