How To Make portuguese cavacas
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease regular size muffin tins or popover tins.
-
2Using an electric mixer beat all ingredients for 20 minutes without stopping, I recommend using a stand mixer set on level 6.
-
3Once the ingredients have been mixed for 20 minutes fill the muffin or popover tins half full (no more than that).
-
4Bake on the middle rack for about 45 minutes; if you want the CAVACAS to be on the dry side bake for 1 hour. They will turn a golden color and “popover“ the pans.
