Is waaj is a sweet snack that resembles a tortilla and is made from fresh corn. To prepare it, the corn is husked and then ground with water and sugar to make a dough. The dough is then shaped and toasted on a comal, and finally sprinkled with sugar on top. Its flavour is delicious due to its sweetness and crunchy texture. Is waaj is a Yucatan tradition and can be eaten for breakfast or dinner with atole or coffee. Although it is available year-round, it is traditionally offered on Janal Pixán altars, and it is an important part of Yucatecan cuisine.
