Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any major supermarket's baking aisle. Caster sugar and unsalted butter are standard dairy items; desiccated coconut is usually found with baking ingredients, and cornflour (corn starch) is readily available in the same section.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
- Fold in the desiccated coconut, the milk, and the cornflour, which should be pre-dissolved in a small splash of milk to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Mix all the ingredients vigorously until you have a uniform and smooth batter.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared baking tin that has been greased with a little butter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the empadão is set and golden brown on top.
