It is a long process and the recipe requires a large quantity of oil. I would be happy to make them on the weekend with you. Nana would make quite a few, so she could share with family and close friends. She liked to share her culture through her traditional foods. Portugese pancakes are the size of a small Tim Bit. The texture and taste is like a cruller. My mom made her own homemade syrup with water, cinnamon, lemon and sugar boiled on a stove for hours until thickened.<BR/>Thanks Jen for preserving and caring on traditions.<BR/>Love MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732396328445789975.post-32648682842489135712009-02-25T06:03:00.000-05:002009-02-25T06:03:00.000-05:00Not to worrry Jen - we celebrated with Aunt Jemima...Not to worrry Jen - we celebrated with Aunt Jemima too! I honestly don't know how Nana did it with the portuguese pancakes. It's a ridiculous amount of work! I'd save it for the weekend, Jen. Definitely not something you can do in a few hours. It took me forever the last time I made them.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614075610248334748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732396328445789975.post-44209103789690880142009-02-25T06:00:00.000-05:002009-02-25T06:00:00.000-05:00Give yourself more credit.

I can remember the amazing taste of her pancakes and the syrup with the cinnamon sticks that had to boil on the stove forever. Thanks for the great memory. I had forgotten that it was strove Tuesday.<BR/><BR/>Hope the boys are doing better.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/> K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732396328445789975.post-5939244138482512022009-02-25T03:25:00.000-05:002009-02-25T03:25:00.000-05:00Mm, I really like those "american" pancakes!
