Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative?
Yes! You can use almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk instead of regular milk. Just ensure that the non-dairy milk is unsweetened to keep the sugar balance intact.
How should I store leftovers of the Portuguese Papas?
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the mixture has thickened too much.
What should I do if my mixture doesn't thicken?
If your mixture doesn’t thicken after adding the egg yolk, it may be due to insufficient heat or not stirring thoroughly. Make sure to cook it on medium heat while continuously stirring to help it reach the right consistency.
