Brazil, I’ve been in Brazil for four months… If you’ve been following me, you already know… so I couldn’t help but start the new section “Christmas around the world 2021 edition” right from here.
And here’s the traditional Brazilian holiday recipe symbolizing prosperity and abundance:
the Rabanada or sweet fried bread.
Similar to French toast, but with bread fried in seed oil, milk, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon.
A humble recycled dessert.
It was introduced to Brazil by the Portuguese, and it is said to have been given to pregnant women to help them produce milk.
Over the years, it has undergone several variations with the addition of ingredients such as port wine, red fruits, and the accompaniment of custard.

The best bread for this recipe is sliced bread, which is the same used for the French recipe pain perdu.
