Since it was Easter time I was craving Portuguese sweet bread. My mom makes it for holidays, often with hard boiled eggs and linguiça decorating the tops of the loaves. I called to get her recipe, but unfortunately she was out of town and couldn't email me her cobbled together version (two parts Aunt Clara's notes and 1 part published recipes).
One thing I knew for sure when I looked at this version is that it definitely needed cardamom. (Apparently, it's not a common ingredient and the flavor usually comes from lemon or cinnamon.) Anything other than cardamom isn't PSB to me so I added that to the milk, butter and sugar while it scalded, and then omitted the lemon and most of the cinnamon. Other than the flavor differences the recipe is perfect. I tripled it and had no issues whatsoever.
