• 9 egg yolks
• 1 egg white
• 2 cups Sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Beat egg yolks until light and frothy, then spoon in the beaten egg white.
• Continue beating until mixture is spongy in texture, then pour into muffin tins that have been buttered.
• Set tins in a bain-marie (about one inch of hot water in a shallow pan) and bake in 350° F oven about 15-20 minutes.
• Dissolve Sugar in water and bring to a boil, add vanilla extract.
• Remove papos de anjo from tins, make 3, 4 holes in each one with a toothpick and drop into boiling syrup.
• Remove from heat, let cool and place in a pyrex.
• Refrigerate until next day, so papos will soak in the syrup overnight.
