I used a silicone muffin/cupcake mold with just butter because I wanted to keep them gluten-free. It worked perfectly. I see many other recipes use some lemon zest. Has anyone tried it?

Yes, you’re definitely correct with it being Portuguese flour… and you can use white corn flour if you can’t find the yellow flour

Hi Tina, cornmeal and corn flour are both milled differently and the texture is completely different too… Cornmeal feels gritty, while corn flour is finely ground and smooth.
You can find corn flour in the international markets.

No need to refrigerate if serving that same day. On a side note I have never had to refrigerate them… they are usually all gone!! Enjoy them…

How did they taste after being refrigerated? I plan to make them in the morning and serve them in the evening

No problem. I’m making them today to serve tomorrow with arroz doce for dessert. We’re having an Azorean Easter to celebrate our trip there last Sept! Bolos Levedos with cheese and pepper sauce, linguica, favas, alcatra…..a mix of the islands.
