Where to find ingredients
Vegetable shortening is commonly found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Guarana soda can be found in the international foods section or the beverage aisle of large supermarkets, or at Latin American specialty stores. Guava paste (goiabada) is available in Latin American or Brazilian specialty stores, often in the international foods section of larger supermarkets. If guava paste is unavailable, a firm guava jelly or even a fruit paste like apple or quince paste can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will differ.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the vegetable shortening, sugar, and guarana soda
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until you get a homogeneous dough that can be rolled out
- Cover the dough and let it rest for approximately 30 minutes
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness
- Cut the dough into small squares
- Place a strip of guava paste in the center of each square
- Close the abraçadinhos by bringing the corners of the dough together to form a small package, ensuring the filling is well sealed
- Arrange the abraçadinhos on a baking sheet, leaving some space between them
- Bake in a preheated oven until lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely
- After cooling, dust the abraçadinhos with granulated sugar
