My mom (from Pico) use to make this all the time when I was a kid. I'm 47 now and caring for my mom who has Dementia. I made this tonight hoping I would remember some of the memories of how good it tastes and this was SPOT ON to the point where it almost brought tears to my eyes because I can no longer get this recipe from my mom as she no longer remembers or speaks much. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

My mom (a Brasileira), made this one time when I was younger. She called it "Papa de Trigo." I presume a regional name for the dish. I loved it so much. I have been having a hankering for this, for a few years now. I'm glad this post came about. I just have one question, Does the Egg Yolk have to be tempered?

Beat it a little then drizzle it slowly into the porridge while continuing to stir.

Papas are very popular in the Azores, my mom use to make it with Corn Meal, White flour, sometimes Corn Starch, back in late 50 and 60 even today once in a while I have for breakfast papas com Corn Starch. It was always so good.

Papas has always been made with maizena…..cornstarch. I’ve never had it with flour.
