Portuguese Fried Bread, also known as Pão De Milho Frito, is a traditional breakfast dish in Portugal. Made with a simple dough consisting of flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and milk, the dough is formed into small balls and fried until golden brown. These fluffy fried bread bites are perfect for breakfast or as a snack, and can be served with jam or honey for a sweet twist or with cheese and ham for a savory option. However, due to frying in vegetable oil, this dish is high in fat and calories and should be consumed in moderation.
