A friend on facebook asked me for a Pao de Mel recipe. So here it is. The original post is pretty hilarious if you want a good laugh.
Pão de Mel (Honey bread)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate (for topping)
- preheat oven to 350
- mix all the dry ingredients first (not the chocolate)
- add the butter, egg, honey, and milk.
- mix until smooth
- place mixture in cupcake pans. We filled it up 3/4 full and I think it was too much. I had 2 full pans (24 total). I would only fill it up 1/2 way
- bake for about 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
- when it's ready take out and cool in a wire rack.
- Cool completely before you put the chocolate.
- melt chocolate and cover the Pão de Mel (traditionally you're supposed to cover the entire Pão de Mel in chocolate. Because they were so big and hard to manage I only did the top).
- Let the chocolate harden before you put the Pão de Mel away. I made sure to save it in an air tight container or else it gets rock hard.
