Preparation
- Preheat oven to 180°C or 350°F.
- Grease regular size muffin tins or popover tins.
- Using an electric mixer or stand mixer (on level 6) beat all ingredients for at least 20 minutes without stopping. Fill the muffin or popover tins no more than half way.
- Place on the middle rack. For moist Cavacas, bake for about 45 minutes; for dry Cavacas bake for 1 hour.
- Combine all of the glaze ingredients and stir until smooth.
- While the Cavacas are still warm, spoon the glaze over each one or just submerge each one in the glaze.
- Serve on the same day since they will dry even more for the following day.

My Mom always used olive oil that she heated up. She also made a sugar mixture that she cooked on the stove just before it got to a hard candy stage and dunked the cavacas into this. Have you heard of this way of making cavacas?

You mention milk in the ingredients but is that whole milk or any particular milk?? Choice of milk may affect results, I don’t know, hence my question.. thanks! 😉🇵🇹👍
