My Portuguese man has been talking about his mother’s Papas recipe that he and 4 siblings used to eat for breakfast since I met him. When I made coconut rice pudding last weekend he said it reminded him of Papas and so today he recreated his mother’s recipe.
We made it two ways, one with the egg yolk and one without … and we both agree that the one with the egg yolk was better, but the egg-less version was more like Mae’s.
Ingredients:
- 1 c milk
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 large slices of lemon rind
- 1 egg yolk (optional)
- ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Place milk, sugar, flour and lemon rind in a medium pot over medium heat.
- Whisk continuously while it comes to a boil.
- As soon as it starts to boil, add the egg yolk, whisk for 1 full minute, then remove from heat.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
