Bolo de arroz (Rice cakes)

Today the temperature went up a few degrees and the sun was out so finally, for the first time, we were about to have breakfast on the terrace!

First meal on our terrace

We made a traditional Portuguese pastry called "bolo de arroz" which translates to rice cake. Not the usual crispy buscuit like ones on sale here in UK supermarkets. These are proper cakes with sugar, eggs, rice flour, plain flour, butter, and lemon zest. We made them in muffin trays but traditionally they are made in narrow tall paper containers, a bit like panettone.

And they tasted like the real thing!
