Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, sugar, and vegetable shortening in any local grocery store or supermarket bakery aisle. Goiabada (guava paste) can be found in the international or specialty food section of well-stocked supermarkets; as a substitute, you may use a very thick quince paste, though the flavor profile will differ.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable shortening, sugar, and guaraná.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until you reach a homogeneous dough that can be rolled out.
- Cover the dough and allow it to 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 small strip of goiabada in the center of each square.
- Close the abraçadinhos by bringing the corners together to form a small package, ensuring the filling is well enclosed.
- Arrange the abraçadinhos on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
- Bake in a preheated oven until they are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Once cooled, coat the abraçadinhos in the refined sugar.
