Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, dairy, and oils at any local supermarket or neighborhood provisions store. For fillings like sardinha, canned options are widely available in the tinned fish aisle. If you cannot find a specific cheese, a firm, salty hard cheese serves as a good substitute for the traditional topping.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine all the dough ingredients and pulse until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Grease a baking tin thoroughly with butter and a light dusting of all-purpose flour.
- Pour exactly half of the batter into the prepared baking tin.
- Evenly spread your chosen filling over the base layer of the batter.
- Pour the remaining half of the batter over the filling to cover it completely.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the crust turns golden brown and firm to the touch. The exact baking time will vary based on your oven and the size of your tin.
Observations
The Empadão is a true staple of Brazilian home cooking, beloved for its versatility and deeply comforting flavour profile. This simplified version is the perfect go-to for anyone looking for a meal that is both practical and delicious, with a batter that can be easily adapted to suit whatever filling you have on hand.
Since the dough is prepared in a blender, it results in a delightfully light and airy texture that pairs beautifully with any savoury filling. It is an excellent choice for family weekend lunches, quick dinners, or even a picnic spread.
