Portuguese Biscuits

Many Portuguese desserts are based on yolks and high amounts of sugar. I suggest making “Portuguese biscuits” and pampering your loved ones with these simple but delicious homemade cakes. For spices, you can add cinnamon, vanilla, or lemon zest. The biscuits have a delicate creamy taste, slightly crunchy and literally melting in your mouth … I’m sure you will like it!
