History and Origin of Bolinho de Chuva
Rain dumplings have their roots in Brazilian home cooking, passed down from generation to generation.
Its origins are believed to date back to colonial times, when Portuguese families adapted European recipes to the conditions and ingredients available in Brazil.
The simplicity and comforting flavor of bolinho de rain have made it a constant presence in Brazilian kitchens.
Traditional Ingredients
To prepare the traditional rain cookies, only a few ingredients are needed, which are generally available in the pantry. Here is a list of the essential components:
- Wheat flour: 2 cups
- Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Eggs: 2 units
- Milk: 1 cup
- Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
- salt: a pinch
- Cinnamon powder: to sprinkle
- Oil: to fry
Method of preparation
1. Mixing the Ingredients
Clear! Here is the text using other words:
In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar and salt. In another container, beat the eggs with the milk until you get a uniform mixture.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing well to avoid the formation of lumps. Lastly, add the baking powder and mix gently.
2. Oil Heating
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. The amount of oil must be sufficient to immerse the dumplings during frying.
3. Frying the Dumplings
Using a spoon, place small portions of the dough into the hot oil. Fry the dumplings until they are golden and cooked inside. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
4. Finishing
Sprinkle the hot cookies with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy all its softness and flavor.
Variations and Tips
Although the traditional recipe is the most common, there are several rain cupcake variations that you can try:
Rain Cookie With Banana
Add banana pieces to the batter before frying. The banana caramelizes during frying, adding a sweet flavor and extra texture. This simple variation transforms traditional dumplings into a delicious surprise. Try it and delight everyone with this tasty and easy-to-make version.
Rain Cookie Stuffed
For a tastier version, fill the dumplings with dulce de leche or Nutella before frying. Use a pastry bag to make it easier and ensure that the filling is evenly distributed. This will make the dumplings even more delicious. Try it and surprise your family and friends with this different and irresistible version.
Baked Brazillian Doughnut
For a healthier alternative, you can bake the dumplings instead of frying them. Place portions of the dough in muffin tins and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden. This baked version of dumplings is a great option for those looking for a lighter recipe, without giving up the delicious flavor. Try it and enjoy!
Tips for a Perfect Rain Cake
- Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is hot, but not excessively hot. If it's too cold, the dumplings will absorb too much oil; if it's too hot, they'll burn on the outside before cooking on the inside.
- Portion Size: Use a spoon to measure out even portions of batter, ensuring all dumplings cook evenly.
- Sugar and Cinnamon Sprinkle: Sprinkle the dumplings with sugar and cinnamon right after frying so that the mixture adheres better.
