Actually I was impressed by your persistence with the coxinhas, and I have to say, for a first time, it looks pretty good. Me and my boyfriend tried some recipes and they don't always work out great, but we enjoy it anyway. <br />I thought that maybe you'd be interested in a basic recipe of dough that we got from a vegan brazilian website. It's that one:<br />-1kg all-purpose flour;<br />-1L soy milk or water;<br />- Vegetable stock (here we use 1 cube);<br />-Salt and pepper to taste.<br />You should boil the soy milk or water, when it boils add the vegetable stock, the salt and the pepper and than slowly add the flour. The important thing is to keep stiring during the whole "flour process" so that the dough doesn't get any clumps (that's the hard part for us). That's pretty much it. <br />I hope I could help (sorry for any english mistakes I might have made).<br />Good luck with your future coxinhas.<br />=]Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018039796817806067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026825713366251702.post-42890642623950765182010-01-17T12:40:14.669-06:002010-01-17T12:40:14.669-06:00your persistence paid off!
