Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the egg in this recipe for a vegan option?

Yes, you can replace the egg with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture. To do this, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous. This will work as an egg substitute in the recipe.

How should I store leftover bolinhos de chuva?

You can store any leftover bolinhos de chuva in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week or freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, simply warm them in an oven or microwave.

What if my batter is too thick or too thin?

If your batter is too thick, gradually add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can add a small amount of flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it thickens up. The dough should be somewhat thick but still able to drop from a spoon.
