papeissa

Papeissa is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from rice flour, sugar, and water. It is a type of mochi, a sweet rice cake, and is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. The name "papeissa" comes from the Portuguese word "papel," meaning paper, due to its thin, translucent appearance when cooked. Papeissa is typically made by mixing rice flour, sugar, and water to form a dough, which is then rolled out thinly and cut into desired shapes. It is then boiled in water until it becomes translucent and slightly firm. Papeissa can be flavored with various ingredients such as cinnamon, vanilla, or fruit, and is often served with a sweet syrup or condensed milk. It is a popular treat in Japan and is also enjoyed by people around the world who appreciate traditional Japanese sweets.
