Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- In a blender, process all the batter ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
- Grease a baking dish with butter and lightly dust with plain flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute your chosen filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the filling to cover it completely.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C until the top is golden and the batter is set. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your baking dish.
Observations
The Empadão is a true staple of Brazilian home cooking, cherished for its adaptability and deeply comforting flavour profile. This simplified version is perfectly suited for those looking for a fuss-free, delicious meal that can be easily customised with whatever ingredients you have on hand.
The batter, which comes together quickly in a blender, is light and aerated, creating the perfect base to contrast with a hearty filling. It makes for an excellent addition to family lunches, a quick mid-week dinner, or even a picnic spread.
