Filhós are usually made by forming balls from a mixture of flour and eggs. When the dough has risen, the balls are deep fried and sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.[2] The Brazilian variety is not sprinkled and is usually covered with Honey or with Melted Rapadura (Which in Brazilian Portuguese is usually called "Honey of Rapadura").
