About Arrufada
The arrufada is a traditional sweet bread from Coimbra, spongy and perfumed with cinnamon. Its name may derive from "arrufar" (to sulk), perhaps because the dough "sulks" as it rises. It is typically eaten at breakfast or snack time, with butter or simply on its own. At A Pharmácia da Avó, the arrufada represents the richness of Portuguese regional sweet bakery.
