Syrup soaked whipped and baked eggs

Directions

1. Beat egg yolks until light and frothy, then spoon in the beaten egg white.

2. Continue beating until mixture is spongy in texture, then pour into muffin tins that have been buttered.

3. 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.

4. Dissolve sugar in water and bring to a boil, add vanilla extract.

5. Remove the papos de anjo from tins, make 3, 4 holes in each one with a toothpick and drop into boiling syrup.

6. Remove from heat, let cool and place in a pyrex.

7. Refrigerate until next day, so the papos will soak in the syrup overnight.
