Number Of Ingredients 9

CAVACAS BATTER
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup of oil
- ½ cup of milk
- 8 large eggs at room temp
SUGAR GLAZE:
- 2 cups of confectioner's sugar
- zest of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons of milk (more or less depending on the thickness you like)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease regular size muffin tins or popover tins.
  • Using an electric mixer beat all ingredients for 20 minutes without stopping, I recommend using a stand mixer set on level 6.
  • Once the ingredients have been mixed for 20 minutes fill the muffin or popover tins half full (no more than that).
  • Bake 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.

  • While they are still warm dip in the sugar glaze or drizzle glaze over them.
