Papos de Anjo

Ingredients

 * 9 egg yolks
 * 1 egg white
 * 2 cups Sugar
 * 2 cups water
 * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 * Pumpkin Jam (optional) 100gms

Directions

 * 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.
