Queijadas (Portuguese Custards)

This is a dessert of my childhood. It is a popular one in my Portuguese-Azorean culture. These custard-like desserts are easy to make and very delicious. --Stacy

Ingredients:

2 eggs
1 bar melted butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups warm milk

Instructions:

Beat 2 eggs with 1 bar melted butter. Add sugar and flour and mix. Add milk slowly and beat with a wire whisk. Spray muffin tins and pour batter into the pan. Place in the oven at 350 ˚F for 20-25 minutes.

Notes:

These Portuguese sweet treats are great to take to a party. We tend to use a little less sugar since we aren’t huge sweets fans. Let the butter cool slightly before adding the eggs or you’ll end up cooking the eggs. To see the coconut variation on this recipe, click here.
