Thank you
Soooo happy to find this recipe it reminds me of my childhood in Portugal š
Certainly does. Are you going to make some? X
Certainly does, look forward to tasting them.x
where did you get the papers for the bolo de arroz?
You can use any kind of baking papers, if you can’t find any of those you may use regular thin paper just the same. Just make sure to cut it cylindrical to fit the shape.
Do you put something on the baking paperto hold the shape of the cylinder??
I like this fucking delicous cake from Urenco
Aloha, from Hawaiāi we jave a proud AƧorean and Madeirian Tradition here. But we also have have Japanese, Chinese and Filipino baking traditions and they use two kinds of Rice Flour. So curious if just plain rice flour or do you use the sweet glutinous rice flour? Please clarify Obrigado!
