👉 Raffias are a type of sugar that is commonly used in traditional Mexican dishes, particularly in dishes such as mole and tamales. They are made by adding sugar to a mixture of masa (corn dough) and water or milk, and then boiling the mixture for several hours until it thickens. The resulting substance, known as raffa, is then served with various ingredients such as cheese, beans, and spices, and can be enjoyed hot or cold.
