Learning to Cook

I have always been surrounded by wonderful cooks and bakers. While this has been delightful for my taste buds, I always wondered if I would ever be able to cook like them. When I lived in Brazil, I was forced to learn how to cook because the ingredients at my disposal were so different. The experience was, at first, frustrating. But, once I began to experiment, the world of cooking opened up to me. My recipe box is now brimming, and I thought others might be interested in trying some of the recipes I have found. I haven’t tried them all yet, but I plan to in the future! I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to add your own suggestions/comments.

Rabanada de Natal


Ingredientes:

• 2 gemas
• 3 colheres de sopa de açúcar branco
• 1 colher de leite
• 1 colher de nata
• baunilha em pó (opcional)
• 12 fatias de pão de véspera
• óleo
• açúcar em pó
• canela moída
• frutas frescas

Coloque as gemas dentro de uma tigela e junte o açúcar. Bata a gemada até obter um creme macio e espesso. Adicione aos poucos o leite e a nata. Bata um pouco mais e aromatize com 1 colher de café de baunilha em pó (opcional). Bata novamente. Molhe o pão com esta mistura e deixe embeber durante alguns minutos. Aqueça bastante óleo numa frigideira ou num recipiente fundo. Frite as fatias, poucas de cada vez, virando-as até dourarem uniformemente. Retire da fritura com uma escumadeira e escorra o excedente da gordura sobre folhas de papel absorvente. Polvilhe as rabanadas ainda quentes com açúcar e canela. Acompanhe com tiras finas de fruta fresca.
