THE STORY

At the table

Borrachões are a traditional sweet of Beira Baixa, particularly associated with Castelo Branco and surrounding areas. Their curious name refers to the alcoholic drinks used in their preparation. Traditionally baked until crisp and coated with sugar, they are a characteristic example of the region's rustic home baking.
