A filhó (or filhós in plural) is a traditional pastry in Portugal and Northeastern Brazil.
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. This is a traditional Christmas bake in Portugal, although it is now commercialised throughout the year. Although there isn't a specific place of origin, this sweet has strong roots in the inland regions of central-Northern Portugal.
