Add the powdered sugar.
Baking powder. I put a teaspoonful to raz. Always with my American spoons.
Then finally pour in the flour. Add it a little at a time to feel how much the dough needs. It should have the consistency of bread dough.
You must “feel” the need for flour in the dough.
The dough should not be too soft or too hard.
Add the butter (at room temperature) and knead to incorporate it.
Now it’s time for a good fifteen minutes of kneading by hand or in a food processor!
For the sauce, mix the chocolate powder and sugar.
Add the milk. It should be a fairly thick sauce.
Dip each “beijo” in the chocolate.
Drain well with a fork.
Then roll them in the coconut. It is important to know that in Brazil we find coconut much thicker than the one we have at home. But it works just as well with ours!
Do the same for all the beijos…
