Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.

  3. 3

    Mix Tapioca Flour

    Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the tapioca flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until well combined and a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Cool the Dough

    Let the dough cool for about 15 minutes until it's warm but not hot.

  5. 5

    Add Eggs and Cheese

    Once the dough has cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and baking powder until fully incorporated.

  6. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pão de Queijo

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and puffed.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked Pão de Queijo warm!
