I am sorry, but I had to comment. Absolutely lovely! Simple, intriguing and I am captivated by your photographs. You and your baking are gems. So looking forward to seeing more.
These look great! I had this kind of tart in Sao Miguel (made in Ponta Garca). The peanuts give them a more pronounced flavor than those made with almonds and beans.
I love your blog – especially the traditional Portuguese recipes you have here – there are precious few in English to be found on the web. Thank you for the translations and keep up the good work!
