Instructions
- In a wide pot, heat the sugar, water, and cinnamon stick over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks until smooth.
- Once the sugar has dissolved into the water and small bubbles start to appear, remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Pour the beaten egg yolks through a fine mesh sieve into the hot syrup.
- Reduce the heat to low/medium-low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and scraping the edges to prevent a crust from forming, until the eggs are cooked through and only a little syrup remains.
- Transfer the Encharcada among 4 broil-safe bowls and broil briefly over low heat until the tops are golden.
- Serve immediately garnished with ground cinnamon.
