Where to find ingredients
Vegetable shortening can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Guarana soda is often found in the international or soda sections of larger supermarkets, or in Latin American specialty stores. Guava paste (goiabada) is available in Latin American or Brazilian markets, specialty food stores, and sometimes in the international foods section of large supermarkets. If guava paste is unavailable, a firm, seedless guava jelly or even a red fruit paste can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the vegetable shortening, sugar, and guarana soda
- Gradually add the wheat flour, mixing until a homogeneous dough is obtained 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 the desired thickness
- Cut the dough into small squares
- Place a strip of guava paste in the center of each square
- Close the abraçadinhos by joining the corners of the dough to form a small package, ensuring the filling is well sealed
- Arrange the abraçadinhos on a baking sheet, not too close together
- Bake in a preheated oven until lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely
- After cooling, dust the abraçadinhos with granulated sugar
