SHF#12: Papos de Anjo

It's time for another edition of "Sugar High Fridays" hosted by Elise. This month's theme "Cooking up Custard" was very difficult for me because I didn't know what "custard"was. So I searched on the web and found a Portuguese candy -which is a kind of custard I think- and tried it yesterday. It looks like the same but is different from Turkish candies with syrup (e.g lokma). I make this candy with the half amount of the found recipes. In the syrup of this sweet dish I added rose syrup instead of vanilla extract/essence to get a unique aroma. For me the syrup is too sweet with this amount of sugar but I read recipes even with more amounts.

Papos de Anjo
(Angel's Cheeks/Chins)
4 egg yolks
1 egg white

for the syrup
100 g sugar
100 ml water
rose syrup

Beat the egg white.
Beat the egg yolks a little bit. Spoon the beaten egg white and beat about 10 minutes till it becomes spongy.
Pour into buttered tins. (I used two tins with ø 10cm ).
Set the tins in a bain-marie and bake in 180° preheated oven about 20 minutes.
For the syrup dissolve sugar in water and boil them under adding rose syrup. Remove from heat.
Drop the cold candies into the hot syrup and take out after they absorb the syrup sufficiently.
That's it!

I'm posting this entry without photos now, I don't know if this is disqualifying me for this time!? I will post them tomorrow. My old nice camera is away and the new one has not arrived yet. So I took the photos today with a friend's camera but the friend was too busy to send me the photos until now.

Elise is soo quick!!! Here the "rolling roundup" !
