My Mom always used olive oil that she heated up. She also made a sugar mixture that she cooked on the stove just before it got to a hard candy stage and dunked the cavacas into this. Have you heard of this way of making cavacas?
You mention milk in the ingredients but is that whole milk or any particular milk?? Choice of milk may affect results, I don’t know, hence my question.. thanks! 😉🇵🇹👍
