👩‍🍳 How to make Bebinca Breakfast

Slice bebinca (2 mins, no heat): Cut bebinca into Â½-inch thick slices â€” each slice should show the beautiful golden-brown alternating layers.
Warm in pan (3 mins, low-medium heat): Melt butter in non-stick pan. Place bebinca slices. Warm on each side 1â€“2 mins until fragrant â€” layers caramelise slightly at edges and interior becomes warm and custardy again.
Serve: Plate warm slices with hot tea or coffee alongside.

📖 Cultural notes

Leftover bebinca for breakfast the morning after Christmas is one of Goa's most cherished food traditions â€” families cut into the refrigerated bebinca and warm slices on the tava while the Christmas church bells still ring. ---
